He’s better off being the #1 and Captain of Vancouver and getting another strong year under his belt.

Agreed, even though there's a part of me that would love to see Honzek have a strong camp and push for a spot on the Flames, it's nice to have strong prospects coming through every year or two - it also helps the Flames with their contracts if they aren't having to burn ELC years as well.
Hopefully after a strong season in Vancouver and a focus on putting in the work in the gym to get his body ready for Pro, and he could be looking at a nice bonus at the end of the season by getting called up to the Wranglers for playoffs. Then we can see where he's at by next year's camp and he'll either stay with the big club or start with the Wranglers IMO.
