Jankowski hasn't had a full pro season yet. Also, he made it to the second last round of cuts, which is impressive for his
first pro camp. The players left to be cut have had a "cup of coffee" in the NHL already, and have proved, based on a larger sample size, that they are worth a longer look in their respective roles.
Of course its a 'prove it year', I would argue it is a 'prove it year' for every player in the system, NHL players included.
