Good and fair writeup, IMO.

Emile Porier isn't 168 pounds either and he might be taller than 6 foot.

Oh god, please don't go by anything the idiots at HF say.

Edit: Although this was done by the site and not the general population of 7 year olds that post there and is not bad.

Read it already. Pretty much what we know about these guys. I think they should have watched the prospect camp before writing up Kanzig's assessment though. He's much better than I originally thought. The one thing they got right is his proclivity for penalties.

You misread good sir. He was their fourth pick.

Some great irony on display here.

The article was not wrong in this case, you were. He is listed as a 3rd rounder in the article and the Flames fourth pick, both of which are true.

1. Monahan
2. Poirier
3. Klimchuk
4. Kanzig

Poirier is just under 6'2, Monahan is 190 lbs. Didn't bother to read the article but those are indeed mistakes if he said anything different.

It looks like they corrected the article. Monahan's now listed at 187.
Poirier at 6' and 168 lbs. is wrong too. His junior team lists him at 6' 1" and 183 lbs. Okay article but getting facts wrong isn't good.
