Borderline 2nd liner, mostly 3rd liner. I could see 20-30 goals at his peak. Ultimately, I voted top 6 because it wouldn't surprise me if it happened.
he definitely hasn't reached his peak. and whether you claim he can be a 2nd or 3rd liner depends on the team really. even right now, he could be a 2nd liner on quite a few times. 16 goals playing third line minutes will get you on a 2nd line on certain teams. remember, we're the back to back presidents trophy winners, we're deeper than most teams
the guy will put up 20 goals within the next season or two, without a doubt
That's what he is right now.I see his maximum ceiling: 40-45 point, two way very good third liner.
Because he's trending in that direction rapidly. He plays a third line game, but he's becoming more than that.I don't know why people keep trying to push Hansen as something more than a very good third liner. He's not a top 6 forward and isn't at his best there at all. Some players are just bottom 6 forwards and in Hansen's case, he's the perfect third liner. He's destined for that role and does an excellent job of being a third line winger. Nothing more though. And that's perfectly fine.
The Danish equivalent of Wayne Gretzky.
Or, "The Danish Gretzky" as my friends and I have come to know him.
He's shooting the puck a lot more than he did last season (so far). Last February he had 22 shots in 15 games. He's only played 5 games this month and has 18 already.Hansen's sniped two nice goals against Minny lately. Could his hands actually be catching up with his feet?!?!
What? Burrows passing is not significantly better than Hansen's. Where Burrows trumps him is the effectiveness of his shooting instincts, his ability on breakaways, his positioning, and his clutchness.Hansen is excellent in the role he is playing.
If he could somehow improve on his hands, I see a 25G/50pt ceiling for him.
He doesn't have enough finish or instinct to be a Parise type. He doesn't dominate in the corners like a Morrow type. His passing is not good enough to be a Burrows type.
If he could, however, sky's the limit. But you could say the same things about Dale Wiese.
Outside of his ability to make Sedin-like passes when playing with the Sedins, I totally agree. He's a better pure passer.Hansen's passing ability might be better than Burr's, actually.
