One of only 10 guys to play an NHL game from that draft.

Guys like Sandin-Pellika, Bonk, Perreault, Molendyk, Musty and Ritchie and Cristall might move ahead of him.
In the article I posted the main shifts are

- Perreault from 23 to 9 (most lists had him in that 9-12 range ahead of the draft. I further do wonder if there were concerns about a Canadian team signing him. I just find it funny he somehow fell to NYR)
- ASP from 17 to 11
- Ritchie from 27 to 13
- Edstrom from 32 to 14 (I would still take Honzek over him)
- Bonk from 22 to 16 (I would still take Honzek over him)
- Rehkopf from 50 to 17
- Brindely from 34 to 20

Players that drop in the rankings to after Honzek
- Yager from 14 to 22
- Wood from 15 to 27

So that's how it shakes out.
And honestly with all those guys, there's not a lot of difference between them at this stage. I would say the guys, for me, that I would clearly draft ahead of Honzek now woud be ASP, Ritchie and Perreault (ignoring any signability issues).
