A lot of the Flames' goaltending prospects look great in the CHL or NCAA, but then fall flat in the AHL/NHL - often because of injuries.
The Flames used to have problems with patience (see Giguere, Roloson, Anderson, McElhinney), but now it seems to be more of a general development thing.
I don't think drafting has been the problem (other than highly questionable picks like Mason McDonald).
