Just came across this on the ISS top 30 list. Sawyer was listed along with Corbeil as early risers. Thought you Moose fans might enjoy reading this. Sawyer Hannay, RD -- Halifax Mooseheads Height: 6.04 Weight: 190 "Tough and respected. Word is already circulating that there is a new heavyweight champ in the QMJHL after young Hannay went toe-to-toe with Ashton Bernard in Cape Breton. Not afraid of anybody. Team-first guy. Teammates love him. Any NHL team selecting after the fifth or sixth round looking for character will find it in aces with this kid." The full list can be found at: www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/11591/iss_top302010_prospects_november/ |

1992-09-06 from the Q website so definitely a 2010 He would be 2011 eligible. He is considered a late birthday for the NHL draft. Anybody born after August 31 is eligible the following year. ie....Taylor Hall born in 1991, but will be drafted in 2010 |

At 17 Brault received some talk about being a potential future pro and I think was ranked among North American skaters by one of the scouting services... comparing the two at 17 isn't out to lunch. Though Hannay already clearly bring a fighting skill that Brault didn't and IMO Hannay is better with the puck. Him getting some great ice time is kind of the silver lining of Clarke and Abeltshauser being injured and he's playing well, playing physical and tough. He one of the players that's been rewarding to watch lately as you can see him developing week to week. Ever since the CB game and the big fight with Bernard he been on a role with his play and its hard not to like him. Recognizing he'll likely always fit best as a #5-6 type guy, he reminds me a bit of Saunders a few years back... big D with a mean streak who's a bit dirty and no fun to play against. |

He's a guy that benefits from being drafted by a sub .500 team, on a lot of teams he'd be in Jr.A or MAAA then would need a great camp at 18 to make it. Apart from his skating, the rest of his game is Q calibre, he was a very good MAAA d-man playing with Durepos. |

You basically called Hannay a 5/6 dman...which is what Brault was at 17 and 18 before he ran into injuries. I never said hannay was bad, I have said all along he was a #6 dman, which is basically what you said. Sorry you cant remember back to 03/04 where Brault actually showed potential to be a good player down the road. |

These first year guys are still trying to find their way in the fight game ... most of them haven't been in a real hockey fight before this year ... tough to square off in Midget when everybody is wearing birdcages ... and the officials get in quick when fights break out. I think you'll see Hannay find his stride and become a dominant fighter in the Q ... while taking a regular shift on D. He has all the ingredients to be a heavyweight champ of the Q in a year or two. IMO ... having a 5-6 guy as your enforcer is ideal ... he can play the game to eat up minutes on D ... while at the same time he isn't missed when he is sitting in the box for 5:00 ... but for 15:00 becomes more of a problem. But I'd rather have a 5-6 guy as my enforcer than a 4th line plug that can't keep up. |

I was truly shocked when you compared him to JF Brault when he really shows tendacies to be more of a Jody Shelley clone in terms of skating, heart, determination and pride in other words a true Moosehead. Reread the Future's writeup LALA and I think you will agree with the Jody resemblance as opposed to the JF Brault one.

You are neglecting to remember that Brault actually looked like a decent defenseman back in 2003-2004- that is what Lala is saying. Hannay actually looks better than Brault did at the same age but not by a large margin. His skating needs work obviously but that can be worked on- I like his leadership potential, of which Brault never had any, and his toughness, which Brault showed some signs at the start of his second year but faded. |

Yeah... and even guys like Pender, they often look like they could turn out quite well at 17ish, big, tough, physical etc... but by the time they are 19/20, everyone hates them and wants them released or traded lol because they didnt develop into some #2 stud defenseman that ~some~ people had high hopes for at 17. Guys like Hannay, as its been said, could turn into a 5-6 guy who brings toughness and character, and thats a good player to have. An important player to have, like steve said, a guy who can play but also drop the gloves if needed. He'll get stronger, and better, and will be a nasty guy to play against at 18 and 19. But as its been said, we've had lots of guys, like Brault, who were in that big, tough, character guy mold with average skill who were practically run out of town at 19 as their skills limited their impact. |
