Glad the Flames rank poorly. It shows that their "prospects" have actually managed to graduate into NHL players. Having guys like Tkachuk stepping in right away and foregoing the prospect stage is huge. On top of that all of Valimaki, Andersson, and Kylington look like actual NHLers.
Ditching our first 3 rounds of picks in 2018 is a bit of a letdown. But every top pick from 2012-2017 is playing on the roster right now. That's how you end up with a bad prospect pool.
