The fact that he has Toronto and Winnipeg ahead of Calgary is enough to completely disregard the entire article. I will be shocked if Toronto isn't drafting top 3-5 in 2017. Winnipeg could be good, if all of their young prospects develop as expected. Losing Ladd is huge, combined with Stempniak and Frolik, their forward ranks have taken a huge blow when compared to their playoff team. They will need Hellebuyck to play like a true #1 for an entire season and not flame out like he did this year. There is a lot of 'ifs' with Winnipeg, they remind me more of the Colombus Blue Jackets circa 2005-2009 than they do an actual up and comer. Lots of promise, but wake me up when it translates into anything.
