I 100% disagree with your assessment here, so I guess we will just have to agree to disagree, and allow time to prove who had the better assessment.

That’s not my point, my point is that Honzek is not a first line difference maker in the NHL as you think he’ll be. In 10 years when we look back at Honzek we’ll be looking at a good 2 way player but not a first line difference maker and definitely it a top line player on a good team. Gabe Perrault is merely an example of taking a chance on a higher risk, reward type player in the spot we picked, which is what I prefer, I’m sick of the Flames being always mediocre. Swing for the fences with our drafts.
