As for Hanowski - I would be shocked if he got a cup of coffee in the NHL right now. I think Street deserves another look. Aliu could probably be worth another look.
Another guy who I think totally deserves a cup of coffee in the NHL is Bancks. I don't think he will ever be anything more than a temporary injury call-up as a career for him, but that kid needs to be rewarded. Not like the Flames are challenging for wins. I think it would be a totally wonderful thing to do as an organization and get that guy in for a game. Can't think of anyone else who would be a bigger 'feel good' story, and a statement to the rest of the prospects saying "You play hard every night, you will get rewarded."

Street looks absolutely useless at the NHL level.
