My opinion of him was that he had to grow into his frame. I would guess with the right offseason training he would be much better next season.

I think people put way too much stock into Penticton - especially for the kids. First, the tournament is in September, when there can be pretty big differences between players' game-readiness. And second, there is everything from 18 year olds, to 22 and 23 year olds. Coronato and Kuznetsov are 21, and Klapka is 23.
Honzek shows up to the camp as a kid just drafted, and all those guys are not only men, but they're pros.
