In Stockton right now it doesn't look like they have someone who is a guaranteed NHLer, Their Euro-prospects are not that exciting, they have a couple of could be bottom sixers in the NCAA and CHL.
IMO Pelletier and Valimaki are the only two players trending to be impact NHLers. But, that's the price you pay when you trade away as many draft picks as the Flames have.
The upside to this though, is that guys like Dube and Kyllington, have graduated from this class so it leaves things a little more bare then it might be otherwise.

Phillips and Gawdin are both over a ppg in the AHL FYI , one was a 7th round pick and one was a free agent signing and Valimaki was a terrific pick at the spot the flames got him at. Considering the Flames graduated many picks to the NHL it’s not shocking that the flames have less blue chip prospects then other teams.
Pelletier imo should undoubtedly be a top 50 prospect. He’s having a superb year
