Flames are doing it right. Looks like they are bringing in 3 players that could be around at 6 in Barkov( longshot), Monahan, and i have to guess Lindholm will get his invite today.

The real interesting part will be who the other 7-8 players they invite.

I was just pointing out that there are other reasons why players don't get invites. If they feel they have incomplete or inconsistent information on some players, they are more likely to invite those players over players they feel they have the book on. Not every team invites a tonne of prospects, and in particular, western teams usually have to be a little more selective.

Or maybe they don't like Lindholm... who knows? I just don't think that should necessarily be the default mindset.
