Feaster said in the interview earlier that he hopes to get Hanowski a few games this season to help his development over the summer and into next year.
I hope i am wrong, but this feels like a reactionary move to address critics who claim the organization got worked over in the trade. Although it is an entry level deal, my gut response to reading this was the samw reaction i had when sutter signed stajan to the 4 year deal, to prove the critics wrong.
On the upside though, i like the idea of prospects getting a few nhl games in before the end of the season to see the speed of the NHL game.

You're wrong.

I'm really excited. Not necessarily because they will be immediate (or even future) impact players/stars, but because management really seems serious with their rebuild.
Grab prospects, give them a chance to prove themselves, develop them, and see where they end up. What's the worst thing that can happen? That we lose a few more games?

those two moves aren't even in the same universe. Hanowski signs an ELC worth 900k for a year and a few games this year, while Stajan was vastly overpaid and even granted an NTC. Stajan's signing was a potential setback to the organization ... for Hanowski, the risk is only that he doesn't pan out at the NHL level, so financially there's no harm at all. Completely different scenarios

The problem with posting a "gut feeling" on a messageboard is no one can possibly refute anything you "feel".
Hanowski will be 23 by the team next season starts, giving him a shot right now is no different then 20 year old Baertschi getting one, 20 year old Max Reinhart or 21 year old Roman Horak getting theirs.
Feaster has said he wants to see how this young kids play. Don't seen this as anything different.

You're thinking of the immediate signing of Stajan to a four year deal.

This. He's old (at least compared to most prospects) and this happens relatively often with non-contending teams. Tampa Bay has played that giant defenseman they signed from NCAA as a UFA already this year.

Sounds like Agostino is going to stay at Yale for his senior year. Something to be said for getting an Ivy league degree.
Thats probably a good life decision for a guy that has about a 50% chance of making $75K / year in the AHL for a career and 50% chance of making millions in the NHL.

I could see him leaving especially if they win tomorrow. A large portion of the players who leave college end up getting their degree in summers, especially the guys from IVY League programs. Most guys at these schools stay over the summer to load up on extra credits in anticipation of leaving early so they only need to take a couple of classes if they end up leaving a year early. If Agostino leaves early then he will finish his degree for sure.

His dad is his " family advisor" and he has said he is staying. We'll see.

In the case of college guys, not a good sign when they stay all four years because they hold all the bargaining power. Unless they want to sign with the team who holds their rights, they can just opt to wait a few weeks and get their pick of team.
