Eight players joined the Calgary Flames organization on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the big news from the two days wasn’t the draft. The Flames opted not to tender a qualifying offer to centre Mark Jankowski.
On a Webex call with the media, general manager Brad Treliving explained the move.
It wasn’t one that didn’t come with a lot of thought about it. Janko had a tough year. We talked with his representatives about potentially coming in at a number that would be different than what his QO was at. In a lot of ways, this is a product of maybe a financial decision.
