As much as Hanowski could be getting ice time and helping Abby, there's also a handful of good reasons to still have him up with the Flames.

I was under the impression that Ward had demoted Hanowski to the fourth line and press box prior to his recent call up. Hanowski was literally fighting (picked up his first few majors) to stay in the line up of the Heat. The Heat were signing and trading for AHL veterans for the top 6 and demoting Hanowski to the 4th line. That's what I remembered reading.
Maybe PMM, Freeway, or Drury can clarify.
