He joined the Sedin twins up front while Alexander Edler and Jason Garrison manned the points. Hansen didn't put much stock into the opportunity because it's just a training camp audition, but coach Alain Vigneault sees the move as a possible fit moving forward. "Jannik does make a lot of sense," Vigneault stated. "Throughout the years at different times, we have used him with the twins and it has worked out for us. Jannik has more skill than I think people give him credit for but I also think he doesn't mind going to those tough areas. He's a real solid net presence and the fact he's a right-handed shot helps." Hansen averaged a mere eight seconds of power-play time per game last season, so a promotion to the top line would give his fantasy value a real jolt. He scored 16 times and added 23 assists in 82 games in 2011-12.
