Couldn’t disagree more about assets. Flames are extremely asset rich. You seem to think assets = picks and prospects. But young proven NHLers are also valuable assets and that’s where the Flames shine.
High value assets include: Gio, Hamonic, Brodie, Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Hanifin, Andersson, Valimaki, Dube, Rittich
Flames are swimming in high value assets compared to any time in the past 20 years. I’m not sure how a long term Flames fan like yourself can conclude anything but that. This is literally the most asset rich they’ve ever been in my time of following them. We have 4 star forwards, a wealth of current and future top 4 dmen.
This focus on assets being depth in the minors is completely misguided. I’ll take what the Flames have on their roster over shiny prospects that dont pan out 2/3 the time.
