Just saw this list on ESPN, thought it was fairly interesting. (Sorry paywalled)

Flames related:
12-Monahan
25- Baertschi
50- Gaudreau
67- Knight

Interesting list as the average is about 3.33 per team, and Flames had 4 so just a bit above average, however 3 in the top 50 is pretty good.

I just want to note this guy has Shinkaruk at 22 (above Baertschi), Horvat at 28, so this guy has some weird ways of evaluating players, and that you should take this list with a grain of salt as there are a lot of real headscratchers.

Baertschi has done everything and more then Shinkaruk did in the WHL, has some NHL experience (25 games). He knocked Baertschi on his size for the NHL, but doesn't for Shinkaruk? Was one week away from being drafted last year, and regressed in points in which was basically played at 19.

Makes no sense to me, especially since Shinkaruk was drafted 23rd in his draft year and this includes all prospects.
