How has Honzek looked since he's been sent down?

Not bad to pretty good. He's not on a scoring line and doesn't play much on the PP so the 3pts in 7 games doesn't concern me, even if his one goal was into an EN IIRC. He's not super noticeable but when you watch him closely he's doing all the little things right. Forechecks well and responsible defensively. Needs to be more assertive and drive the net more with the puck but stuff like that comes with comfort I think. His next game will only be his 15th pro game.

It's Brzutewicz and Poirier that have been disappointing for me. Solo has been much better than both.

Yeah I'm pretty shocked to see Bru with only two points through 17 games. Is he getting PP and/or top 4 time? The Wranglers seem to score a lot of goals.

He's definitely been on the PP at some points. Cull switches stuff up often and I don't pay close enough attention to know which units are which playing which dman etc. He's been good in transition but other than that just kind of slow decision wise and gets beat outside too often. Think he's gotten used to being a team's #1 and that's no longer the case right now. Poirier is just a hot mess of a hockey player and has been damn near every game I've watched him. Great athlete, very talented, but if he doesn't learn some puck management he does not have a NHL future.

They do score a lot of goals, most in the AHL(also having played the most games).
