Kabanov was a projected 2010 1st rounder that's stock fell do to concerns about his character.

Seeing as the Flames didn't have a 1st round pick (part of the Jokinen deal to Phoenix) or a 2nd round pick (part of the Bourque deal to Chicago).

When Kabanov fell to the Flames in the 3rd round, many people on this site were pretty mad that Sutter and company choose Reinhart over Kabanov.
