Not all of these guys are going to transfer their success to the NHL, but it's nice seeing a lot of our prospect having good years. High percentage or junior successful players=higher percentage of NHL successful players

For sure, I'd think. Also, having success at the AHL level is important also. I'd hope the theory of having better players at the AHL level pushing each other to do better will benefit the Flames in the long run.
It's not an easy process, but who can argue that are our prospect group is in as bad as shape as it appeared even three years ago? I'm not saying it's perfect, and the Flames still need improvement in the prospect area, but when is the last time there were as many people on this thread actually feeling more positive about the Flames prospects?
BTW, it will be interesting to see where the Hockey News ranks the Flames prospects this year-it won't be in the top third I suspect, but will the Flames prospects rank between 10-20? (I honestly don't know how "stocked" other teams are other than Colorado and the Oilers and a couple other teams to compare.)
