Beau Akey? The 7th defenseman on the abysmal WJC Canada roster? Only on the team because he was nearly 20? I doubt any Flames fan would trade any of our top 6 defensive prospects for Akey 1 for 1. That's how little value he has.

That's it. The rest are projecting to be AHL middle 6 at best. 29th ranked prospect pool is being generous because maybe Savoie defies the odds and becomes a marginal player. They'll be filling the team with overpaid UFA's for years.
You seem to be forgetting about their 4 draft picks this year. And they have one in every round next year too.. Checkmate
