PP I agree with you they waited to long to make changes
How can you argue that any player other than Janko deserved on the team given the camp they had. That is the Oilers model of rushing young players. If a young player doesn't force his way on the roster in camp. Given the camp performance it was more likely that a Brower would rebound rather than Hathaway/Magiapane would perform. And given the price of that asset you also have huge value in exploring the Brower upside trying to get him back to neutral value.
Jankowski- was sent down because org needed to complete evaluation of Bennet at Center. Once that was done and Jankowski dominated the AHL he was brought up. I think this was the right way to maximize your assets. Yes it looks like they should have had Jankowski in that spot all along but then you wouldn't know the answer to the Bennet at centre question
I'm not saying GG is a great or even could coach but I don't think roster criticisms is a reason to criticize him.

Right, so all of last season wasn't enough, we needed another 20 games this season?
Better players were sent down to Stockton because of many reasons, but evaluating Bennett wasn't one of them.
