Even with your projections for Honzek, he'd still have worse production than Perrault and Cristall did this past year.

At the end of the day, I didn't like the Honzek pick because other players had first line potential. Some of them, based on stats, were even probably first line players.
If Hozek is a top 6 or middle 6 player, then that's barely worth a 16th OA pick in a strong draft.

Top six = potential first line.
