Just one guy's opinion, but clearly he likes the free agent signings, and maybe has more upside for a player or two on the Flames list.
Plus he puts a higher weight or emphasis on his opinion of elite-level skill/potential.

Going back through some of this previous assessments there are some major whiffs. But you are right, one guy's opinion, he's doing his job, we're discussing it. If he was extremely astute he wouldn't be working in the media and some team would hire him.
