Pelletier looked better in the 3rd - in all zones. I think this has been his most noticeable night out there thus far. Hope it is a building block.
I think Honzek could probably use some time in the AHL to ripen... or maybe he has ripened enough already! I actually would like to see him crack the lineup and see how he does. He certainly looks ready, and thus far, has earned it. Still too many bodies on forward. Asset management is important. You don't want to toss out a Pelletier only to then see Honzek starting to get a bit overwhelmed and in need of a some AHL time, or a a few injuries to make a lot of room in the forward ranks. Huska and Conroy are going to have some arguments I think!
Some kids are making these decisions difficult for Huska so far, and that's awesome.
