This will change if he has a solid development year.
Hanowski has achieved top 6 status in the AHL he had 25 pts in his first 33 AHL games and then had a 12 game scoreless streak.
His AHL numbers match up pretty well with Baertschi's who had 26 pts in his first 32 AHL games

Hanowski is a few years older than Baertschi though, can't really compare them. This is a big year for Ben, and he'll be in tough to even be in the top 6 in Addy. He is in jeopardy of being passed by several other prospects this year, he'll need a monster year to earn another contract IMO. It might be best to give him a chance somewhere else there is just too much bottom 6 depth in Calgary for him to get much of a chance with the big club any time soon and there's too much depth in Addy for him to really show what he can do.
