Not sure I understand Hanowski over Van Brabant. They are both likely 4th liners. BVB is a hitter and hard worker who can fill a Lance Bouma type role. Hanowski doesn't have that same physical edge which puts him a step lower in my mind. Hanowski will outscore BVB in the AHL but for the role they are going to play in the NHL if they make it, BVB is a much better fit.
