It is just so weird how so many fans can't wait to dismiss a 20 year old that the coaches and management obviously are not dismissing.

Not sure what FBI might be saying, but I think it's a good thing that Honzek is getting a long look and a lot of games up and down the lineup. But I also agree that it's telling that he's starting this game on what appears to be the Wrangler's top line (if Morton clears) to start the season.
I'm a huge Honzek fan, but I can see benefit with him starting in the AHL, without writing him off, particularly since he hasn't yet blown the doors off like he did last year. It'll be good to see how he responds (he admitted, being sent down last year was tough for him to take, which effected his production, so maybe the team wants to see if this time it pushes him to excel).
