I do wonder how prospects feel about the numbers game. The Flames have a bunch of D prospects but maybe one slot on the team, only if Smid goes LTIR. I know people will say "well if they can't beat out X then...." but I've never seen a prospect actually push a vet off the team. ( I've seen vets play themselves off the team but they are always given a chance).
F is more open with 2 clear spots. I'd love to see them stay open and have serious competition among the prospects to fill them.

Gaudreau, Monahan, and Bennett all pushed vets out. Giordano pushed Phaneuf out. It happens a lot, it's natural. We can't keep making excuses for prospects who simply aren't good enough.
