barkov-Hubredeau, Yakupov-Nurse, Lindholm-Murphy, Grigorenko-Ristolainen, Murray-Wennberg, Reinhart-Strome.
Also probably put MacKinnon on his own at least at par if not above those two and Drouin fairly close as well but probably just below them.
Plenty of top scoring collegiate players have come and gone without doing anything at the NHL level. Plenty of teams have guys putting up impressive numbers that is why they were drafted in the first place.

I suppose it depends on your definition of a "prospect" but generally speaking Huberdeau and Yakupov are not classified in that category.
Plenty of CHL players have come and gone without doing anything at the NHL level as well. That does not change the fact that Gaudreau is at the top of his peers currently in terms of productivity and pure skill.
Either way, I personally put Calgary in the 5-10 range, so I guess we are not that far off. I just don't agree that Calgary lacks top end talent coming up through the system.
