Jankowski was made a pretty standard offer for an ELC, and he accepted it. If he had not received that offer, he would have been a UFA.

Could they have not made a standard offer, but instead one beneath a player of his standing's expectations?
Could they have told Jankowski they were not interested in him anymore and it would be in his best interest not to sign with them - though they had to offer him a contract in order to reclaim something from the investment?
