The drop in Valimaki to the Flames 4th best under 23 is a big reason for the drop from #12.
The Flames are the only non-playoff club in the 25-32 group of pipeline teams... except for #32 Seattle who has no pipeline.

Gotta laugh at Pronman's inclusion of the Oilers in "the top teams of the last decade". Also wondering who in the Oilers' organization is under 23 and would merit ranking it above the Flames' system. Just Yamamoto? Maybe Broberg? I mean, there is literally no one else on the roster or in the system who would be a top under-23. The huge down-ranking of the Flames' organization in these ratings in spite of adding a number of promising young prospects and just losing Tkachuck due to the age cut-off shows just how subjective these rankings are.
