He was a very good prospect , ranked near the top in that draft , to say otherwise is bull####

Sure he was, and at the time, I also hoped the Flames would be able to pick him up. The point is that it's very preliminary to declare that Honzek either is or isn't comparable to Getzlaf except if someone with a lot of hockey knowledge has done extensive viewing of both at this stage of their careers. There just isn't enough information out there at this time about how they compare, so anyone (not specifically you) who claims that Getzlaf was definitely a superior prospect, particularly based solely on prospect rankings prior to the draft, is making a claim that can't' be backed up with actual evidence.
