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.
Yeah he even labeled Coronato as "middle of the lineup player" despite his breakout last season.
