Honzek took his spot, not much else to say.

Be injuries and trades to make room for him. Honzek will likely go down as well at some point
This. Plan always seemed to be to ease him into things either with bottom 6 time or AHL time, then guaranteed top 6 time the last 3rd of the season after Mantha was gone. The fact he’s still with the team suggests he’s alternating in when Honzek undoubtedly sits a game or two, and potentially for if Honzek is sent down before Sharangovich is back.

Ya signing Mantha pretty much guaranteed it. Whatever, either Honzek and Coronato play or the vets play well and we can trade them.

Let the defense have 10-15 games to figure things out anyway. Likely be some ugly hockey at the start

Agree with Bob Germany.
Kevin Rooney should really not be playing over this kid.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is an NHL 30 goal scorer. Has the rare mix of a guy who can score from distance and beat goalies clean as easily as he can be a net front guy. He’s just struggled getting his open looks as he adapts to a faster paced league, the glimpses he shows are great though.
