The purpose of ranking the current prospects is to rank the current prospects. Nothing more, nothing less.
it's not intended to reflect the long-term health an any organization.
It's not a meaningless exercise.
Calgary does have less skillful prospects than other organizations. That's all it is saying. it's not saying how they got there. It's not saying how many where recently promoted or how many just missed the cut off.
