Team is better with Jankowski. He earned the spot. He showed he is NHL ready. Just as the GM says, he wants a kid to come up and steal a job. He did, and then it was gifted back to a veteran.
That isn't hyperbole. It's the truth.

Except your post
is pure hyperbole. Just because Jankowski made the team, does
not mean it
has to happen on day one.
Transactions have consequences. And some transactions take time. A GM's job is a little more complicated and nuanced than: this kid played well - waive and demote the vet right now!
He'll get Jankowski into the lineup. It's an 82 game schedule. Give him a day or two to work things out for christsake.
Some of you sound like little children: I don't care that my birthday isn't until tomorrow - I want a bike right now! Wah!
