It seems like the assumption is that Kirkland is the 4th line center, taking on the Rooney role, at least to start the year.

For Honzek specifically probably being in the AHL since he hasn't had much time in that league.
But for alternatives like Kerins, Stromgren, etc I'd argue they've learned all they are going to learn in their 2-3 seasons in the AHL and need NHL time to continue their development.
