Alex Chiasson wasn't qualified at his $800k salary, but the Flames kept negotiations open before he signed with Washington for $660k.
Joe Colborne and Josh Jooris weren't qualified because they were arbitration eligible, but the Flames kept negotiating instead of getting locked into a raise they weren't comfortable with.
Don't qualify Jankowski but see if he wants to return closer to the $1M area. A lower salary the team can comfortably work with could actually be the difference between him making an NHL team and not.

This.
Janko likely knows unless he has a great playoff run, he's lucky to get league minimum. Prime opportunity for penny pinching.
