I disagree. This list should be for prospects who have a realistic chance of playing for Calgary. Rafikov has pretty much no chance of ever playing for the Flames or being traded. He’s not in the Flames plans and they aren’t in his plans. He’s an easy guy to ignore. He’s irrelevant in my opinion, he’s not a legit NHL prospect of ours. The whole voting process is just confused by having guys like that on the list who are only “technically” related to the Flames but aren’t actually a legit prospect of the Flames.
