That said:

Non-PO team: that’s half the league, and it’s not like the Flames are perennially non-PO or even like they shouldn’t have been in the POs this year if the group had performed properly.

Cap trouble: that’s the majority of teams in the league. And it’s all down to one bad signing. It’s not like he’s handing out huge Skinner-like contracts all the time.

Prospect pool: This is the result of graduating players and also the fact that the Flames have been in the POs or just missed every year. Overall I’d give minor scouting a good mark over the last few years. It’s one of the team strengths IMO.
Minor scouting and development has been pretty good, the problem with the prospect pool is treliving keeps trading away too many bullets.
