A guy like Jacob Julian, 5th round pick by Winnipeg in the same draft, is the same size and has better production. Honzek might be the first Flames 1st round pick since Pelech in 2005 to regress in production in their D+1 year.
Perhaps it's just hard to take large steps forward after back-to-back years with major injuries. I just want to see a fully healthy season from Honzek.

It's a 14 game sample size after a long term injury on a terrible team. Point per game averages fluctuate drastically over such small sample sizes.
Jacob Julien also has teammates with 1.82, 1.60, and 1.34 points per game averages. Sam Honzek leads the Giants while being the only player over a point a game. Not at all comparable. The Giant's rank 20th out of 22 teams in scoring in the WHL.
Nate Danielson almost made the Redwings out of camp, and has had a very pedestrian year in the WHL.
It's ok to give these kids time.
