2) they haven't had great goaltending
I would rather they focus on developing prospects then focus on having a great AHL team.
Having said that, I am not entirely convinced that they are actually doing a good job developing prospects.

Fair point, although the Heat have some older prospects that have played a number of years in college.
Your last sentence is the kicker. The young players on the Flames making an impact have not gone through the AHL program except for Brodie. Until that starts to happen there is really no evidence to support that they are doing a good job of development.
