He’s been a good guy in Rochester; I’m guessing we are merely rewarding that with a bit more money and the ability to be called up

Good luck.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Can't really go wrong at that price, he's shown in the past that he can play a 4th line role. He was pretty good on the PK in Calgary. Worst case he plays in the AHL.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Hopefully he's learned how to play hard again. He seemed to stop caring a few years ago after he was mismanaged by the Flames and never rebounded.

When he's playing with intensity he's actually pretty good.

 

[Chainshot]

He's been a good solid guy in Rochester on an AHL-level deal already, so this seems like an easy enough promotion move. Buffalo could use the help on the PK and at #4 center.

Depth move

He was on an AHL only contract to start the season with Rochester.

Sabres C ehrn healthy are

Mittlestadt
Thompson
Cozens
Eakin
Girgensons can fill in at C

Jankowski a likely call up as a 4C when Eakin gets traded.

Condolences to Buffalo fans.

Jankowski will need to clear waivers to be assigned to the AHL.

Was shocked when I saw him listed at 6'4", when he was with the Pens he may as well of been 5'4".

You cannot stop Jay Feaster. You can only hope to contain him.

His suit jackets couldn't even contain him....Yes I always pick the low hanging fruit first.

I enjoyed it.

Legendary 1st round steal in the 2012 draft

Wow Sabres just got the best player in the 2012 draft!

 

[Deen]

Random fact I happened to remember. He scored the very first goal of the 20-21 season. Wish him luck.

How did the Flames mismanage him?
It’s more they mismanaged Bennett by sticking Jankowski on him.

Softest big man in the NHL

 

[TheNumber4]

Very cheap for the “Best player of the 2012 draft.”

 

[Hughes86Hischier13]

i thought he was decent in devils camp

Biggest news of the day!

I would have liked to see him get more offensive opportunities after scoring 31 goals in his first 2 years as a 4C. Seemed like he got frustrated and stopped skating (which I totally blame on him).

But the kid was a first round pick, played all 4 years in college and then parts of 2+ more years in the AHL. I think he could have been handled better and should have turned into a solid middle 6 C. But he's not talented enough to get by on talent alone and needs to get back to the player he was when he first broke in.

He is too soft. The Flames paired him with Bennett but he failed miserably. That’s as good as linemate he’s ever going to get. He also failed in Pittsburgh so it’s not just the Flames
