Backlund - no progress, now at the prime of his career age-wise
Horak - went from NHLer (ok at least the first half of his 61-game stint) to 2 years in the AHL
At least Monahan is playing well though.
Maybe Hartley, et al are the experts and I'm just a armchair fan without years of experience in the Swiss league. But to me, when I see this and Sven not playing.... well I guess I don't think its unreasonable to think there is something not right here.

It's not just Hartley. No Flames coach has gotten anything out of a prospect. This organization ruins players before they get a chance.
