I think he knows what he says. Are you suggesting he was right then and wrong now because now he’s saying something you disagree with based on nothing?
Sandman has provided more interesting and in-depth info on this draft class than anyone here by a mile. If he likes the pick, then there’s a lot to like about the pick.
End of the day it’s just another player you get to cheer for, so get in line and enjoy the ride.
Or... and just spitballing, but here me out here... maybe they liked him better?
I’ll hear you out
They obviously did, that’s why they picked him.
I’m not saying they didn’t favour him. But Conroy literally said first thing “we liked his size” lol.
I predict in 10 years, other teams' fanbases will be crying about why their team picked 'x' while Honzek was still on the board.
For all the hand-wringing about Jankowski, that still ended up to be a fine pick. Best pick? No, but not terrible either. Definitely not as bad as is often talked about. I can only imagine how this board would have erupted in anger in 2012 if Wilson was the guy selected.
This is a great pick. Size is still a huge advantage in this league, and this kid has that as well as everything else - shot, hockey sense, skating, skill... he is a complete package. The only thing I can think of that is a weakness is he should play MORE physical, and have a bit more consistency (which is a common issue with a lot of prospects). I like this more and more.
Mackenzie had him 17. And said 16-20 were interchangeable.
A lot of people respect McKenzie's rankings and Honzek was taken near where he was ranked by him. But McKenzie also had Barlow at 12 and Moore at 13 (inside the interchangeable 16-20). I think that's why people are leery of the pick.

Relax bro, I’m not mad nor putting him down or undermining him lol.
I thanked his post too, I enjoyed his takes just as much as the next guy.
Hug it out, we’re all here to cheer for the good guys.
