Every fan base is going to be biased, I agree. I just don't think a fan base should be coloured by specific comments by one or a few. I think that's pretty simple.
My comment was "may", it was referring to two defensemen (Negrin and Pelech), and I range of 2-4 for the two of them.
So no you don't get to apply top defense pairing to Pelech from me as you couldn't know what I meant because I don't even remember what I meant.

Wait, what dude? Make what true? These are just quotes. I didn't hack CP to make them.
You said he and Negrin had 2-4 D potential, and I'll emphasis potential because I never swayed from that. But if he became a number 2, like you said he may (again emphasis may) he's a top pairing defender. How else would you describe a 2D I mean, what? Haha.
The funny thing is, regardless of potential on 2-4 D. You were wrong (as I have been on for hundreds of prospects) about him being an NHL player. I don't know what your stance is now.
I wish I just used some of my own very wrong quotes about prospects instead because people don't like being wrong, the point remains the same though. Every fanbase is biased when it comes to their prospects. The Flames, in particular, right now, have a weak farm (assuming we're talking prospects) compared to other teams who have been able to draft highly (and not promote like Tkachuk has been) or accumulated picks. Back in 2006-2010, we thought the same thing. Sutter's drafting was a Godsend compared to the late 1990 and early 2000 drafts and he single handedly turned the farm around when he had Howse, Irving, Wahl, Pelech, Ramholt, Aulie, Negrin in the system. Now we're saying how much better the system is now compared to when the team had Howse, Irving, Wahl, Pelech, Ramholt, Aulie, Negrin in the system. Funny how that works.
And for what it's worth, I've often mentioned that Dube, Foo, Kimchuk, Mangaipaine and even Philips could make the team while penciling in Valimaki, Andersson and Kylington in future lineups. I'm very optimistic with them, just like I have been with all the past iteration of Flames prospects. And I will likely be wrong again as one or two of those guys end up NHL regulars - as is the business of the NHL.
