I admit, I had high hopes for him making the NHL full-time as a bottom 6 forward. I still think he could play on some teams in that roll.
The thing is with the Flames, as bad as we used to be when it came to drafting top 6 talent, we were actually pretty good at finding bottom 6 muckers and there was always someone just a little better than Horak to lean on. He always seemed close, but there was no cigar.
I think he'd stand a pretty good chance to make the Oilers next season though.
