Blair Jones is a wasted contract IMO but Horak is the only one out of the players you have listed that has me scratching my head and agreeing on the disconnect that you mentioned. I think Horak needs to be given more than a game next time up, he's a smart player and is defensively reliable. I think both teams are performing above expectations to this point in their respective seasons.

Horak is going to get jerked around all year and then next year when he's waiver eligible he'll suddenly be good enough to stick in the NHL all year. Such is life as a borderline prospect.
