I wanted Ritchie , Rehpkof and Musty if we couldn’t get any higher up.

Yet , I did think Honzek would be a good pick.

Guys with his size hands and wheels go pretty high on draft day.

The injuries aren’t a concern for me long term. He was cut by a skate in the WJCs in his D - 1 year and suffered a core injury this preseason playing with the big club. Not related and aberrations if anything. We will see though. He’s probably still playing a bit cautiously as he’s only been 20 * games back from injury.


The giants aren’t an offensive powerhouse but a strong defensive team.

Development isn’t linear I agree. I think we just should be patient with this guy. Even if he doesn’t play Center in pro he could still be a valuable top six offensive load. He’s probably going to play at 6’4 210. If he keeps his skating strength he will be a force to handle on the cycle. He’s a skilled PWF prospect and I’m ok seeing him go to the AHL next year. He will have Parker bell and coronato probably starts the year there. Stormgren is a sleeper too. Lipinski will be there and hopefully morin and Brustavic. That is already a Better offensive environment than what he has in Vancouver.

PWFs take longer to season anyway.
