But yeah games played is a pretty objective way to start, and as I pointed out above, it's not like Calgary's games played players are stiff.
Overall the numbers say what we've read in the last year ... Calgary's done very well in finding players without a lot of draft capital. Seems to prove that true.

So now the question is why is the Flames current prospect base ranked so poorly. Are the experts "wrong"? Is it just a function of not having enough picks? Has drafting gotten worse as Treliving's tenure has progressed? Or is it a function of small sample sizes and luck looking at draft pick performance over a small number of years.
