The discussion is about opportunities for prospects, so I would think including Monahan and Baertschi makes sense.

Making the team out of camp certainly qualifies as an opportunity in my books
As I said I added Baertschi it was my mistake(you can see the edit). Monahan seems very much like the exception and not the rule when it comes to Flames prospects, so I am not sure if he should be a part of this list. I just tried to add a different way of looking at things when we process the information.

I said in the beginning of this thread that I don't know how to develop prospects, so I can't have any complaints regarding who makes the NHL and when. For me simply looking at man games lost seemed like a bad way to go when evaluating the opportunity given our prospects. If you wish to change the numbers go ahead. I am certainly not trying to deceive anyone or make the numbers fit a point.
