Thanks for this. I made me curious about the make-up of the team with regards to how everyone was acquired (all stats current to the end of December 28, 2013)...


First looking at the goalies:

The Heat have had 4 goalies see action this season.

Ortio and Brossoit were drafted by the Flames. Berra was acquired in a trade prior to playing his first North American pro game. MacDonald was a Flames' waiver claim, signed to an extension last season.

After last night, Ortio has now played more than 50% of all minutes for the Heat this season. MacDonald and Berra have each played a little less than a quarter of the total minutes, and Brossoit is dead to us now, but played a little under 5% of the minutes.


Now, to the skaters. I broke everyone down into different categories (those in red have had a call-up to Calgary this season)...

Flames Draft picks: Nemisz, Reinhart, Ramage, Ferland, Baertschi, Granlund, Wotherspoon, Sieloff

Free agent signing prior to player's first North American pro game: Jooris, Elson, Breen, Eddy, Martin

Trade prior to player's first NA pro game: Knight, Hanowski, Horak

Free agent signing after player's first NA pro game: Billins, Street, Smith

Trade after player's first NA pro game: Cundari, Byron, Jones, MacDermid

There are also 10 players who have suited up for the Heat who are not on NHL contracts: Olson, Bancks, Lamb, Arsene, MacKenzie, Lafranchise, McKelvie, Connolly, Sivak, Lyon


Now, for the statistical breakdown...

Total (skaters only): 612 GP, 110 G, 197 A, 307 P

Code:
Acquired	GP	G	A	P
Drafted		176	33	48	81
FA pre pro	70	5	12	17
Trade pre pro	80	22	36	58
FA after pro	61	23	36	59
Trade after pro	75	16	31	47

NHL contracts	462	99	163	262
AHL contract	150	11	34	45
Percentages of totals:
Code:
Acquired	GP	G	A	P
Drafted		28.76%	30.00%	24.37%	26.38%
FA pre pro	11.44%	4.55%	6.09%	5.54%
Trade pre pro	13.07%	20.00%	18.27%	18.89%
FA after pro	9.97%	20.91%	18.27%	19.22%
Trade after pro	12.25%	14.55%	15.74%	15.31%
				
NHL contracts	75.49%	90.00%	82.74%	85.34%
AHL contracts	24.51%	10.00%	17.26%	14.66%

I have no idea how those numbers compare to other teams, or past Heat teams, but it's good to see that players who likely have a future in Calgary are contributing well in Abbotsford.
