I guess some of you watch prospects all the time, and have an educated opinion. Maybe you're even good at projecting prospects, but then you might consider working as a scout for the NHL.
I personally haven't watched even one game with Honzek. The most I can do is watch scouting reports, highlights, and pretend I know anything about the guy. In the meantime, I wish him well, and hopefully he has a ton of success with the Flames.

Good post.
I have been fortunate enough to watch Honzek a few times live.
I'm not an evaluator. I don't have the eye for it. But I watch a lot of hockey. At the junior level certain players just stand out.
Guenther, Getzlaf, Stankoeven, Zellweger, Lambert, Malatesta, Zary.
Honzek has his moments like these players do where they are the best player on the ice.
He's a legit prospect in my mind. I would put him ahead of everyone but Coranto and Wolf based on potential in the the Flames system.
