Garbage goals still count, he needs to grow into his frame. Hes got the IQ and Skill to play in the NHL.

Only concern I have about Honzek is injuries. There's a top six player there if he can stay healthy during pro development.

I’m not sure why injuries would be any more of a concern with him vs any other prospect. He hasn’t missed enough time imo for it to hold him back.

His draft year injuries pushed him down to our pick. And he's missed the first 3rd of the season. That's a concern.

If Honzek gets injured, he needs to make sure that he fully recovers. Don’t rush back, even if it means missing half a season of development.

I don’t think they aren’t related at least
