Poor guy is never gonna make it outta the starting gates with all these injuries.

Thickening up wouldnt hurt. 6’4 and 186 is less than ideal

Jeez, I didn’t realize he was this lean. Get this kid on a bulk asap.

Crap.. injury prone?

u/Republic-Of-OK 2d ago

Yeah, potentially might be that type of player. We also thought the same thing about Backs, so hopefully he can turn a corner for
good.

I don't like to call guys injury prone when the injuries are unrelated to one another, but that's just my personal definition of injury prone. He's certainly had shitty luck with his health though, that cannot be denied.

Getting a lot of unrelated injuries is definitely injury prone. If it was a knee he kept injuring then it’d be a recurring injury. Sucks but the guy is definitely injury prone

Ehhhh I would counter that a bit;

if it's injuries constantly coming up due to health related things then that's injury prone, when it's sequences of bad luck that had absolutely nothing to do with his physical health and isn't multiple related injuries that's just bad luck IMHO

You can't tell me Backs fucking railroading him blindly was any fault of his own lol, same with the sliced Achilles... Not a damn thing he could've done about those

It's one of the things fans don't seem to realize when they look at draft picks that didn't make it. A lot of what separates the players who over achieve and those that underperform is health. With Honzek I am starting to worry about how his development is being impacted by all these injuries.

Guy cannot catch a break

u/Ecks83 1d ago

Catches too many breaks if you ask me. Guy needs to stop breaking.

u/Brief_Cry_6387 2d ago

Starting to get worried about this unfortunately :( seems like he may never be able to get going

As is written

u/DepartmentSea8381 2d ago

Stinks he was looking decent to start the season.

u/Mysterious_Reason376 2d ago

Honzo can’t catch a break. Guy gets himself in such great shape, too. Feel for him.

u/---TC--- 2d ago

Yeah… I like this kid, but damn, feels like a short career.

Should I be worried............ that this rebuild isnt going that great..............Zary...Coronato isn't even scoring, Wolf looks human, Parekh still not looking good......

u/olboywop 2d ago

This isn’t Twitter. The best prospects aren’t even in the NHL yet. Not to mention whoever they draft this year. Rebuilds are tough. Buckle in.

u/Trufflehunter89 2d ago

Most of our best prospects aren’t even on the team yet.

u/Far-Wall8602 2d ago

Let's hope so

u/Comfortable-Ad-7158 Barb 2d ago

..............Zary wasn't even drafted by current management. Literally the first 5 games of the true rebuild........ and already complaining...... going to be a long few years for you........

u/Far-Wall8602 2d ago

True... it just sucks because that's 2 guys that are supposed to be good for us who aren't panning out.
