20 is too young to rule a guy out, he needs to be given 1-2 years as a pro to see how he does.

I'm not sure what you are arguing. Horak isn't "overlooked" - Duha merely reported that NHL personnel types/scouts told him that Horak's upside is a "good AHLer". That probably means that he, like many good juniors, lacks the ability to do "his thing" at higher speed...
I'm not even saying that I agree or disagree - I don't know anything about Horak. I just mentioned what Duha said because I thought it might be of interest.
