Knight Reinhart, Horak, Blair Jones and Ben Street are all touted to be Colborne level centres that are NHL ready but the Heat is not dominating the AHL.

I believe that was my quote. It kind of means that if these guys, Horak included, are so near to being in the NHL why are they not killing it in the AHL.
Horak was not delivering. I would have thought that he should be better than a ppg player at the AHL level seeing how well he did in the NHL as a 19 year old. He wasn't.
He did have the 15 game streak at for the Heat in October 2012 that he has not come close to repeating. Why not? His AHL stats line 13 games 2 goals and 7 pts -4 barely keeps him in the AHL.
For instance Blair Jones is a ppg player for the Heat as is to be expected. Knight is 14 pts in 16 games.
Horak wasn't playing himself into being the #1 recall.
