Perhaps a bit - they played the Royals two years straight in the playoffs so seen him when he's at his worst - up against a more skilled team that made him look stupid a lot.
He isn't disciplined, doesn't have the puck skills, smarts or foot speed to keep up. It's not a typical Weisbrod pick - the Flames have been targetting guys with high hockey IQ's and Kanzig is the polar opposite of that.
In the interst of full disclosure, a Rockets STH currently so between that and going to up to Kamloops now and then to catch a game, have seen Kanzig a lot in the past two years. A bit biased against him? Maybe a tad...but don't have the grudging respect for him that would have against a good rival player.
He's a pylon. Perhaps the Flames see something that no one else does. Time will tell.
