I would say all are much better than Honzek. I cannot see any scenario where Honzek is a better player than Perreault.

Pronman analysis
Thoughts on the pick: Samuel Honzek brings some much needed size to the Calgary system. But he’s not just a big guy. He can skate, he has legit offense, his offense is comparable among big guys to a lot of top 10 overall picks recently out of the CHL, and he can play both ways. Whether he’s a center or not will be an interesting debate going forward, but he projects as a top six forward no matter the position in Calgary.

IMO Tod Button's job is on the line with this pick. He's being trusted here.

Jeebus. Janko was ranked in the 40s. The Flames traded down to get him and missed out on 4 players. Honzek was ranked 16th last I looked. Got picked at... 16.

Can’t believe this was the pick with Moore still available. I hope it works out.

This is hilarious. The people complaining and wanting to jump ship - I bet have watched these players live equal to 0 times.

There were some other options I would have preferred but I’ll keep an open mind. Seems like lots to like with Honzek.

That would be a hell of a find by Conroy if that is the case.

That's great, but going with the guy you've seen most this year doesn't mean you found the best guy of the bunch on the board.
Sounds like proximity was a large factor.
Important to lean on your scouts from all over who do this for a living.
