Not bad when you match him up to similar style/type Flames prospects in the recent past: Chucko and Nemisz.
Chucko's best pro season was in 2008-09 where he put up 51 pts in 78 AHL games and skated with the Flames for 2 NHL games
Nemisz's best pro season 2011-12 where he had 29 pts in 51 AHL games and 9 NHL games.
Both of these are very comparable to Hankowski's only pro season.... yet both Chucko and Nemisz would have been in the top 5 Flames prospects when they had their best seasons.

Hanowski is underrated by CP though.
Guy had a decent first AHL season and got some good NHL games last year but doesn't seem to get any credit.
