Kid has 50 pts in 30 games in his first year playing college. Sure he's on a team with Will Smith, Cutter Gauthier, Ryan Leonard but you still have to be able to play with talent in order to put up points. Flames need to stop overthinking things and just go with the best consensus player available.
I think Bob Mckenzie's draft rankings are usually better than what entire scouting staffs of some organizations put together.

bobs list isn’t a ranking. It’s a survey of NHL scouts.
And Honzek was 17 on that list. One spot off where the Flames took him
