We will need some pleasant surprises in the forward picks or some bad seasons to get a chance at some stars in the forwards

This is what I said in the other thread where this was brought up:
Yeah it's surprising to have them so low. The only element I can think of is if teams above them have more roster players <23.
I don't think Pronman has a bias against the Flames, but I do think he has skewed away from the types of players the Flames have drafted. I think you see that represented in the Canes as well (ranked lower than the Flames, but widely considered to have a good prospect base).
My observation is that Pronman has over-corrected. There was a time where he was really high on smaller skilled players, including dmen. And now he's swung back where he seems to really challenge if those players can make it. It's also a constant debate between him and Wheeler.
