I don't wanna be down on Hanowski but we all know the 1st round pick and Agostino were the main pieces to that trade. Hanowski was a throw in and a longshot to make the NHL.
I agree, I doubt we see Hanowski on the Flames NHL roster in 3 to 5 years. With the Flames continually improving the next few seasons I see Hanowski being surpassed by better prospects.

Hanowski would have to beat out Knight, Reinhart, Klimchuk, Jooris, Agostino, Van Brabant, Arnold, Byron, Colborne, Bouma, among others for one of the available bottom 6 spots. I don't see it.
