To say that a prospect may become an NHL regular, or even that you expect he probably will, is not evidence of bias.

Nearly every drafted player has some chance of becoming an NHLer, or teams would not bother to draft them. With every prediction of a prospect's upside goes the unstated caveat: ‘If everything works out well, and his skills translate at the next level.’ For Pelech, Wahl, and Poirier, among many others, things did not work out well: injuries or personal troubles kept them from realizing their potential. That does not prove that the potential was never there, or that one had to be a homer to see it.

To prove bias, you would have to show that a person regularly rates one team's prospects higher (or, for that matter, lower) than prospects of similar quality in other organizations. That is a case that Oling_Roachinen has not even begun to make. How does Bingo's, or Textcritic's, or any other particular person's assessment of the Flames' prospects compare with his assessment of other teams' prospects? That's where you'll find bias if there is one to find.
