If anyone read the Metro today Brian Costello of the Hockey News talked about the flames prospects and we managed to get a worse rank than last year.
This year we were ranked 27th, last year 23rd. This gave us a C grade.
No surprise the Oilers got an A grade thanks to Hall, Eberle Etc.
Erixon was the 15th ranked prospect overall, while Brodie was 69th.
They had Nemisz (our 3rd best prospect) drop out of the top 75 list and now have him projected as a 3rd line grinder with skating issues.
Howse was our #4 prospect with Irving #5, but had neither of them in the top 75 either.
Prospects 6-10 were Bouma, Ramage, Wahl, Ortio and then Pelech.
The entire league will be profiled in the March isue according to the article.
Seems as if the piling on of the Flames prospects continues in the media, even though they seem to be having some success lately. I personally think that we may not have the prospects Edmonton has, but the future isn't as bad as they make it out to be.
