So it's not perfect but Byron Bader has a tool that does exactly this with his model.
Under Treliving (2015-2022: personally don't count 2014 as he had been on the job for like 2 weeks) the Flames rank 4th.
# of NHLers: 5 (Tied 1st)
# of Stars: 2 (Tied 2nd)
Star Success Rate: 4.5% (Tied 2nd)
# of Picks: 44 (Tied 22nd - which is the issue. We don't pick enough)
If you look at our current prospect base though it looks below average (Byron ranks it 19th) because the last couple years we've drafted later, and had few picks.
