If players aren't developed in the NHL, then I suppose the Flames did a GREAT job with Sven. He sure looked great in the AHL when the Flames were developing him.
Developing starts from the moment a prospect is acquired by a franchise, through trade or draft. Don't be obtuse.

I'm not saying the Flames aren't "developing" Monahan or Colborne, but how could you argue that the reason they're having success is because of the Flames? It's not.
Monahan played at a point per game through the first 10 games and has seen this pace fall since then. Obviously this is common for rookies, but the Flames aren't the reason why he had 6 goals in his first 9 games.
