It's easy to be cynical about Calgary Flames prospect Keegan Kanzig.
The third-round selection of the club in the 2013 NHL Draft was selected after first rounders Sean Monahan, Emile Poirier and Morgan Klimchuk, all of whom are playing professional hockey right now. He was selected before guys like Anthony Duclair and Anton Slepyshev, who have both played in the NHL already.
Kanzig? After an all-too-brief sojourn into the professional ranks in the fall, he's back in a familiar spot: on the Calgary Hitmen blueline. But given the organization's log-jam of young defenders and where he is in his development, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for him in the long run.
