Stajan is our 4th line centre. The only player you've listed that is competing with him for that role is Lazar. Foo is a RWer. Jankowski is a skilled centre who needs to be on the top three lines. Neither Foo nor Jankowski are competing with Stajan for the same spot. There is a spot for Stajan, the 4th line centre role. It's his to lose and he's not likely to lose it. If he does lose it it's likely to Lazar if anybody.
Perhaps a better question is, can both Jankowski and Foo make the lineup if we're completely healthy? IMO it's very doubtful. However it's also doubtful we'll be completely healthy up front at any point this season.
The Flames can be a very successful team with Stajan as the fourth line centre. I disagree with your thinking in regards with where he needs to be for the team to be successful.
