You do realise that Flames fans are no different from fans of any other team in this regard, I hope. It seems silly to have to point out that in this exercise fans are going to employ different philosophies and methods in ranking prospects, and I would hope that we all share the sober recognition that "potential" is a quality with these later picks that is seldom realised. In other words, while I see a higher POTENTIAL in several of the remaining players than I do in Hathaway, that in no way means that I expect all of these players to reach it. Of course, they are all long shots, but by the same token, the minuscule odds are enough for those of us voting for these former ##50-60 picks to justify their ranking higher than an emerging pro journeyman.

I don't know if you are intentionally cryptic for effect, but in any event you do need to be more forthright about your specific point. Here again I am struggling to guess what this means.
