That doesn't surprise me. You're pretty thick in the head most of the time.

Bader has a model that is becoming more and more trusted around hockey circles. What do you have again?

Bader's model is new, and it looks grossly flawed. What do I have again?
Common sense. How anyone can look at the Calgary Flames and say they have the 6th best drafting record or prospects in the league is mind bottling. Just because they drafted a bunch of guys that scored a lot in junior or college doesn't make them a good prospect. His model is not taking into consideration the challenges that each of these prospects faces along the way. Matthew Phillips is the ultimate example of that. Great scorer. Awesome skill set. Unfortunately it was obvious that skillset wouldn't translate to the NHL. Same goes for most of the Flames' prospects. As fun as having a youtube star as a prospect is, the likelihood of him turning into an NHL player are incredibly small.

And I didn't move the goal posts, you did. The assets Buffalo wants are 1st round equivalents. That's recent first round picks, and future first picks. News flash ... recent first round picks are junior aged.

News flash... they are still Flames prospects and count toward our prospect base. Imagine how piss poor our Bader number would be without those guys?
