Randy Sportak of the Sun did the write-up. He writes that where the Flames have drafted it's been hard to get top-end talent, but is "starting to amass a prospect pool". He goes on to say that it will still be a slow process because of Darryl trading away picks, unless some surprises come forward in a hurry.[/B]

Wouldn't that be nice (the bolded part)! Seems like other teams have their surprises, but not us.

The team rankings also include young nhlers so no surprise the flames rank low
