Griffins Coach Dan Watson: Hanas ‘Getting Better Looks’ (+)

Cross Hanas’ first two years of pro hockey is a reminder that a young player’s journey is rarely a straight line. There are detours and sidetracks, due to injury or ineffectiveness or simple bad luck.

Hanas, drafted 55th overall in 2020, has been held back by injuries. He missed 42 games last year in Grand Rapids, including the last 30 contests.
