Wasn't NE's original argument that the author of the article knew nothing about the Flames because he said Parsons was our number one prospect? ... CP has him as our number two prospect. Are we ridiculous and uninformed about the Flames?

And there is the disconnect. Rating prospects is actually all about PROJECTING what they WILL be. Unless you're the Edmonton Oilers, you don't draft a kid because he just scored 60 goals in junior. You draft a kid because you see something in his skillset that makes you believe that will translate to the next level, and the level after that. Once a kid is selected, all that matters is his development from that point on. What they have done in the past is irrelevant and no team is worried about what a guy has done in the past. Teams only care about what a guy can do for them in the future and if they believe there is a NHL career in that player's potential.
You're right, we're PROJECTING to what he has done, what he can become if he continues his progress.
Excellent... One day, I hope my wife will say those exact words to me...

Reason: Double post
So I guess Tkachuck should not have been our top prospect last year as he hadn't yet played a game in pro? I guess this rule must only apply to Goalies.
Parsons may or may not turn out, but that doesn't change how excited Flames fans are for him now. He is our best goaltending prospect until someone else steps up.
