I don't think that we have the worst prospect pool in the NHL by any stretch.
I look at Howse, Bouma, Rheinhart, Nemitz and think thats pretty positive
I look at Erixson, Negrin, Brody and I think . . . thats ok
Irving has taken a huge step forward this year as well.
The problem is the ready made callups, that we're short of up front, however my understanding is that Peleach and Negrin and to an extent Brodie could fit into an NHL roster.
Irving would probably be the most NHL ready of the bunch.

*Reinhart, Nemisz, Erixon, Brodie, hehe
If the Flames can get a top prospect in this years draft and perhaps at least one more top 60 pick our prospect pool will look much better, imo.
We have some solid depth, imo, but we are lacking the true blue chippers, mostly because we have not drafted high in the first round as of late.
