Was it that the Flames have drafted poorly? Developed poorly? Or that they aren't giving young kids enough chance.
It seems like you started with a conclusion that the Flames failed to give some guys a real chance, and the you found a data point that supported that.
Love your work generally, but I think it would be a better balanced piece if you didn't start with your conclusion already in mind (which my impression is you did).
Intended to be constructive criticism not harsh.

Yeah if you can draft well, but you can't develop you have nothing to promote.
If you can't draft you have nothing to develop and nothing to promote.
If you don't have picks you can't draft, so you have nothing to develop or promote.
So if the assumption is that team X can draft well (have players that should be called up) and have developed them effectively (once again if you didn't you'd have nothing to promote) but won't call them up?
That's quite an assumption.
And it's subjective.
Without players getting called up you have to assume the Flames either think they all suck, or they're not ready.
