I'm really perplexed by the numbers he put up and the showing he had in the N HL. It just doesn't seem to fit at all.

I really didn't see a whole lot of skill in Kolanos when he was up here.
The largest difference I've seen is the quality of the competition. Kolanos has great speed and good hands, but because of the difference between NHL players and AHL players, he's able to be a step ahead of almost all AHL d-men, but not against NHLers.

To be fair, he was completely snake-bit in Calgary. He hustled and he was where he needed to be, but he just could not bury anything.
