Disagree. Honzek was 17 on Bob Mckenzie's final list. There was a lot of talk that St. Louis would have taken Honzek if Dvorsky was gone.
For those concerned about Honzek not playing center, he took some faceoffs and played center at times in the game I watched in December. To me it was like when Monahan and Lindholm were on a line together and depending on what side the faceoff was on, one or the other took it. I'm not worried about Honzek being on Lipinski's wing as Lipinski is more defensively responsible and better at faceoffs currently. Plenty of opportunity for Honzek to get time at center. Honzek controlled that game every time he touched the ice.
