Also went with Kanzig. I like Hathaway and I think he may eventually find a spot in our bottom 6, I just tend to lean towards defencemen.

Kanzig has a lot of other less obvious qualities than his size and truculence. Takes to a leadership role quite well, seems to be a good teammate, was played in all situations on the Hitmen. So basically Engelland jr, but bigger. If Kanzig can improve his skating and make a smart first pass instead of off the glass and out, he could be a good #7 going forward. I have faith he will with Calgary's coaching - even Engelland was playing better towards the end of the year and the playoffs whereas he was a pylon and Mr. Icing early in the season.
