I don't think the Flames drafted a player 22nd overall that they believed projected lower than Hanowski who was a throw in part of the Iginla trade. Like others have said he's not a guy that is high on Poirier so that probably explains things somewhat but where is this glowing scouting report on Hanowski that he seems to be only prevy to? The fact that he had Hanowski over Horak tells me he doesn't really have a good handle on the Flames prospects after the more notable players. Where the heck is Wotherspoon? He does realize the Flames have some defensive prospects in their system no?
I don't want it to sound like I think Hanowski is a terrible player but he certainly looks at best a bottom 6 player if he can improve his skating. Not bad but I believe Poirier projects higher than that.
