It's pretty far fetched. Jankowski is first call-up for a top 9 injury, for him not to stick with the big club there'd either be no real injuries to the top 9 all season, or he gets a few opportunities and poops the bed on all of them (which doesn't give him much leverage for a trade demand).
Jankowski is wise to the fact that a young player has to kick down the door and wait for the right time to get top 9 playing time in the NHL, he's done nothing in his career to indicate he's a pouter.
