An example of an alternative view.

They have the Flames 10th, but the key difference is this it's a prospect ranking v. a <23 ranking. This means players with 50 or fewer games.
That's why you see the Flames 17th on the Pronman list.
When you look at the teams ahead of Calgary you have teams like:
CBJ: Fantilli included in Pronman's evalution.
Detroit: You would have guys like Kasper and Simon Edvisson
Utah: Would include Cooley, Guenther, etc.
Seattle: Would include Wright
There's probably half a dozen teams that are above the Flames largely because they have young roster talent. That's the big difference here.
