Samuel Honzek's Player Profile

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 7th: "Honzek has been highly-regarded all season and has the combination of size and finish that will help a lot of teams. There are a lot of below-average sized prospect among the top offensive producers in this draft, but Honzek is one who can provide some heaviness to a lineup in addition to scoring."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 5th: "He skates quite well for his size, he’s got good hands and dexterity, he’s got great feel and sense for the pressures that exist on the ice, and he’s by all accounts a great teammate and kid who is coachable and pays attention to the details of the game."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 1st: "He doesn’t necessarily have any one stand out trait, but he does everything pretty well. You don’t have to worry about his work ethic on the ice and he absolutely battles against opposing defenders, giving them all they can handle."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 30th: "He's a big forward who can skate well, which when combined with the offense he's showing makes for a well-rounded player. I don't think he's amazing with the puck, but he has good hands, can make tough plays with pace and can finish chances both from range and in tight."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 29th: "A point-per-game average as a freshman on one of the best teams in Hockey East is a solid way to kick off your college career. All he has done at every level is produce points and excel on the power play."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - May 5th: "Real good puck touch. Equal parts goal scorer and playmaker. Sound hockey IQ. Honzek understands how to play responsible in all three zones. Skating will need to improve another 10 per cent for the NHL game."
