See what you could get for Jankowski before moving a consistent 30 goal guy signed to a good deal for 4 more years.
A) Jankowski probably wouldn't get anything of significance
B) Flames are in a cap crunch and wouldn't be able to afford a Gaudreau, Monahan, Duchene, Stamkos, Tkachuk, Backlund top-6 combination
C) Without Gaudreau, I actually don't think Monahan would be hitting 30 goals a season and thus wouldn't be earning his salary
