It's just not a prospect pool as it includes players 22 and under who have played NHL games, regardless of how many.
So Coronato was included.
But if you included players 23-25, it doesn't move the needle. You would include guys like Bahl and Zary, but most teams would have similar inclusions
I think Calgary's prospect pool is fine, where they lack skill is more at the NHL level where their best players are for the most part older players.
Calagry is lacking elite younger players which is why they are in the middle.
What they really need is for some of those good prospects to become very good NHL players. A few surprises that turn out elite would fit the bill.
