2023 NHL Scouting Report #22: Samuel Honzek

The 2023 NHL draft is a loaded one. The WHL possesses the top prospect in Connor Bedard. Another name in the WHL is Samuel Honzek.

Honzek is decent, but I feel like he's the "safest" pick at this point. I think there's risk at his developing well because he's done well being larger than anyone. I think he's going to be more a third line center. Backlund as a top out

 

[Bounces R Way]

Why not Barlow?

I like the tools. Size and speed is always useful

 

[Dack]

Honzek is pretty good IMO. Certainly not a bad pick.

He's looked impressive in most of the clips I saw pre-draft.

Yup Backlund is exactly who he reminds me of. Not a bad player at all but not that exciting either.

He's a very smart player though, even if he tops out as a Backlund type player, he's the perfect player to play with someone like Coronato and Huberdeau.
