I ask partly because we have a few posters who are absolutely adamant that, whatever prospects the Flames have in their system at any given time, none of them are ‘A’ prospects. Sometimes they dismiss players as ‘D’ prospects, and frankly, I don't know what the criteria are for that either.

So are there, in fact, criteria, or are people just tossing their Alpha-Bits around?
There isn’t a firm definition. Pretty similar to the generational/non-generational debate.

Personally, I think what makes you an ‘A’ prospect is someone with very high potential to be an NHL player and actually making a difference (top 6 F/top 4 D, starting G) kind of player.

For me, I think the Flames have a ton of B/C prospects, but Brzu has put him in the high B range. I think our highest rated prospect, based on his performances over the years, is Wolf. I’d definitely give him an A. Only him and a couple of other goalie prospects around the NHL have that kind of grade.
