Need more time to know what Honzek is. At this point he has mostly gone backward from a somewhat high draft position. His numbers in junior and the AHL has been very underwhelmed

That was unnecessarily pissy.
You make it sound like every young player gets NHL games.
Honzek had a great camp and forced his way into a roster ... actually played well but had no point ... got hurt.
I'm far from a "Honzek is a given" camp, but you can't take away how well he played last fall. He earned NHL games. So yeah NHL games played is certainly a variable in how young players are doing, albeit an inconsistent one across 32 teams.
I think the guy has a high floor which will make him an NHLer. I'm starting to wonder on his ceiling though.
