Flames currently have four of their top prospects playing in the NHL. All of them look like they should have long careers (Wolf, Zary, Coronato, Pelletier).
They've got two other guys knocking on the door, one who just made his debut in the NHL (Honzek and Kerins) and three Wrangler defenders -- Solovyov, Poirier, Brzustewicz -- that are going to get some NHL games in the next 15 months and could turn into impact guys.
And then they have their top prospect, Parekh, who in my mind is the biggest boom or bust candidate, and at least a handful of forwards and a few more defenders that have a decent probability of a long and impactful career.
Superstars is a bit of overselling, but the confidence is legitimate.
