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!

You are the one accusing people of acting like children, of hyperbole, and the like. Either step down from your high horse and stop accusing others of drama, or drop the drama yourself.
Demoting a veteran takes 24 hours. It isn't a complicated thing. In fact, a variety of Flames were out through thst process, along with players all over the league. Camp and all that.
The facts are that Jankowski was demoted while Hamilton, Hathaway, and Stajan were not. That was a decision made by the GM, coach, or some combination.
There could be a different decision in the future. There may not be. But it doesn't change the one that was just made and fans on a hockey message board have every right to express their opinion that it was the wrong one.
If you agree with the decision then defend it. But stop making excuses for a bad decision being made.
