Maybe people forget Pelletier put up multiple 80+ point seasons in the CHL as it's not like he was an offensively challenged prospect. If you are in love with size then maybe Honek has a higher ceiling but they both were projected at their draft as 2nd/3rd line NHL upside. One player is very close to achieving that while the other hasn't even played a full season in the CHL. It's definitely a shiny new thing effect going on here but I get it.
