Good write up, and I don't mind the rankings really.

A little surprised Jankowski didn't make the top ten, but I can understand it given the fact he's a long ways out yet.

I have a feeling Kulak is going to jump up the Flames prospect rankings over the next year or two, and that's even with the Flames picking three times in the first round this year. Kid reminds me a lot of TJ Brodie when I've seen him play. Smart, and skates really well.

Two goalies in our top five is interesting, and plausible in my view. Feaster has done a really good job of restocking the goalie cupboard since taking over, hopefully one or more of them turn out to be the real deal at the NHL level. Big and athletic goalies too, I like that.

Interestingly, no mention of the newly acquired Cundari, or the rapidly improving Breen, who are both 23, and not yet full time NHLers.

Also, Markus Granlund, Joni Ortio and Paul Byron completely omitted as well, which is understandable, but IMO just goes to show how quickly our prospect pool seems to be improving.

My top ten:

1. Baertschi
2. Gaudreau
3. Cundari
4. Gillies
5. Jankowski
6. Horak
7. Reinhart
8. Brossoit
9. Agostino
10. Wotherspoon

HM - Breen, Bouma, Arnold, Hanowski, Granlund, Kulak, Sieloff, Culkin
