The Flames have really good prospect depth but not the blue chip prospects that these rankings tend to rate highly. Looking back through history it would be interesting to see if the rankings actually made a difference for a teams performance or if they were overrated year after year.
I find that a lot of these rankings are sort of #### though. Look at Pronman's prospect ranking from 2017, so all players who should be making their mark by now. There are some good players and some bad players, but by no means would I ever mistake this for an organized top hockey prospects list from 7 years ago.
