Same with Wotherspoon and Brossoit in comparison to players drafted higher in the same draft

I believe Hanowski had an advantage in negotiating his contract
The Flames would loose a lot of face if one of the prospects that was part of the Iginla trade refused to sign so Hanowski was probably able to leverage some more money out of them
Wotherspoon and Brossoit would have also probably picked much earlier if they fell back to the draft and leveraged that.
