Can't share too much from the article because of paywall but here it is:

The bad news, if you’re a Flames fan, is that nobody wants their team ranked near the bottom of any series like this. The good news is that if the rankings were broken down into tiers, the first five teams would have been in their own group, with the Flames beginning a slightly higher echelon.

The second layer of good news is that the Flames have recently graduated Dillon Dube and Oliver Kylington, among others.

If there’s a third bit of good news, it’s that despite having just five selections in each of the last three drafts (including no second-round picks since 2016), the Flames’ scouting department has done an impressive job with what they’ve had, including a number of recent hits in later rounds — and almost no misses on early picks.




The teams he has as worse prospect pools:
27. St. Louis Blues

28. Pittsburgh Penguins

29. Washington Capitals

30. Boston Bruins

31. Columbus Blue Jackets
