I didn't like the Hamilton trade at the time, because I thought Fox was the best prospect in the system - even better than Valimaki.

But I was wrong. It was a great trade, especially with the Lindholm extension. The fact of the matter is that they drafted Fox with a third round pick and got great value for him. For that, I'm willing to give the Flames' management credit.

As for this list, as long as the Flames keep drafting guys with upside, I don't care how many of them are deemed to be elite.
