Hanowski I haven't seen. Agostino I haven't seen. That is why I haven't put out any projections on those guys.
Whether someone's opinion of a player is worth anything is based on whether they've seen the player and how good they are at projecting players. We don't know whether the poster has even seen Hanowski, they refuse to answer my question about how many times they've seen him. We also don't know whether the poster is skilled at projecting young players.
Regardless of how many times they've seen Hanowski I still find the projection that he'll be a more consistent Glencross to be pretty ridiculous. What do you get when you have a more consistent Glencross? You get an Iginla. I'd be over the moon ecstatic if Hanowski basically replaces Iginla singlehandedly. I certainly think that to expect that is crazy and no information I've seen has suggested that Hanowski is the kind of top level, elite prospect that will turn into an Iginla type player.
Hopefully Hanowski turns out great for us. To state you have a "feeling" that he'll be a more consistent Glencross without telling us why you "feel" that way is asking for us to disregard your opinion because you've provided no reason, logic or basis for us to give that opinion any credence at all.

Haha, wow you need to let it go sir. Who cares what a user posts about what he thinks Hanowski projects to. Unless you're Feaster using this forum for reassurance that you picked the right player or perhaps trade him because the fan base think's he'll never make the NHL. This is a discussion forum, if you have to disregard someone's 'feeling' because it's not yours then skip ahead to the next post. Or wait 10 more mins until everything previously posted in this thread is completely irrelevant to you.
