Rumor: Flames did not qualify Mark Jankowski

[Ledge And Dairy]

Tbh not much of a surprise here 1.75M was just way too much in a flat cap.

Last year this would have been stupid. Then he had an awful year and was the extra forward at key times in the season. Can still probably carve out a niche as a PK specialist on a cheap deal.

Crazy what is happening everywhere with a flat cap

 

[blankall]

Guy had an awful year.

Now Bennett, Dube, Ryan, Lucic, and Mangiapane are squarely above him on the depth chart.

Jeeze so many players going to be out of a job next season unless they sign for undervalue somewhere.

 

[YYCLetangStan]

I’d take him for Pittsburgh’s 4th line/13th forward spot.

 

[Empoleon8771]

How fair is it to compare Janowski and Riley Sheahan? Because Janowski and Sheahan followed a pretty similar path from ages 23-25, including the horrible season, so I think a team could at least get a decent 3C out of Jankowski next year.

I remember when Jay Feaster said that when it was all said and down Jankowski would turn out to be the best player that came out of the 2012 draft.

Turned out to be a poor draft year, but his hot take still looks bad.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Leafs or Oilers should take a stab at him to fill a bottom 6C role.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Leafs take a shot at him. He was part of the aborted Kadri deal.

Still remember watching that draft and thinking to myself, “who the f*** is that guy?”

[LMFAO]

I'm gonna guess that Jankowski and Benning will cross path in Red Deer on friday.

Flat cap is just flooding the market with these lower level guys.

Funny how the best player ended up being drafted in the 4th round that year

Jankowski is such a fricken weird player. He's far more likely to contribute points on the PK than at 5v5.

He needs a change of scenery something fierce, but there's also something in his head holding him back too. He should in theory still have an ok chance of being a solid middle 3 c... but the dude has to stop deferring the puck to someone else and actually try to shoot on net as well.

Going to be a fantastic year for some teams to get value players

 

[Bounces R Way]

Too soft and too slow. Think all the weight he put on after his rookie year really hindered his skating.

Has some good hands for his size, PKs well mostly because of his reach, and excels at dumping it in and going for a change. Would not give this player more than 1.5

Jesus, he lost a roster spot to Lucic?

that's a different Erik Karlsson bruh

 

[Flyer lurker]

He'll find work as a 800k 4th liner. But stevie wonder saw this one coming.

 

[Nanuuk]

Jankowski's confidence was destroyed playing under Bill Peters. They kept playing him with a revolving door of slugs. When he did enjoy success in the previous year he played with Mangiapane and Hathaway. With the emergence of Bennett as 3C, young Gawdin being groomed for 4C and the Flames refusal to move Ryan, Janks really doesn't have a spot on this team. Or does he? I think the Flames will re-sign him at a reasonalbe cap hit and have him play 4LW. This way they can also use him on the PK where he has been very good.

In 2012? It was Slavin

 

[DJB]

And so goes the next Wayne Gretzky....

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Lucic is a positive value player for what he provides on the ice, his contract is what makes him negative value. He has almost the exact same impact and value as Ryan Reaves, which is around what he should be paid
