Are they trying to "spread the wealth" in Junior?
Zimmer is undrafted and Levis is a 7th round pick.... I wouldn't say that's the best scenario for Honzek or his development.

There are a ton of CHL players, and only so many NHL prospects. High-end draft picks are even rarer. An NHL prospect playing with undrafted players is pretty normal.
Ideally, Lipinski is being developed into a 2-way 3rd line shutdown type C. Honzek ideally a top 6 winger. Separating them might just be a case of finding a line that fits their style better.
Honzek's point totals aren't amazing, but he's still a leader on his team for PPG and we've seen the tools he possesses. I'm not worried. When he fills out his frame he is going to be a beast.
