Speaking of prospects I picked up the Hockey News Prospects issue where they rate all 32 teams prospects. Here are the Flames rankings: Forwards C-, Defensemen C+, Goalies B-. Now, generally speaking most people feel that the Oilers pipeline has run pretty much dry. Imagine my surprise when I checked the Oilers rankings. Forwards A, Defensemen B- and goalies C. Yet according to the Hockey News the Flames have 3 blue-chip prospects (Brzustewicz, Reschny and Potter) and the Oilers have no blue-chip prospects. Both articles were written by someone named Carol Schram???
The Hockey News has really gone downhill over the last 20 years or so.
