edit, actually, there are 7 players drafted after Honzek on the list. Barlow, Cowan, Heidt and Brindley as well as ASP, Ritchie and Perreault |
Passing on Perreault stings but given his passport I kind of understand although Canadian teams are going to have to get used to seeing a lot of the best young players coming from the USA and will have to deal with it. By most accounts Barlow projected to more of a middle six player like Honzek. I'm not expecting Honzek to be a top line or franchise player but if he turns into a Backlund type of forward there's still a lot of value in that. This just illustrates why the Flames need bottom out more and start drafting in the top 10 so we aren't having these types of debates about middle six prospects taken in the 1st round.
