What ifs are pointless.

I agree, It was someone else that said ‘what if Jankowski’s time in the A at the beginning of the year helped home have a better season?’ So it is the same pointless game of what if.
He did what was needed to make the team out of camp, but the team kept lazar, stajan, Hamilton, on the roster and in the lineup over him.
What did the 10 games matter in the end? Who knows. Maybe we get a few more points, but thankfully the team was so bad that a few more points wouldn’t have mattered.
I just have a philosophical aversion to icing less than your best possible team (and sending the message that performance in camp has minimal impact on personnel decisions). To me it was a mistake, much like Sutter playing hardball with Gio and him going to Russia.
It has all worked out, but it was still a mistake IMO.
