Maybe it's just semantics but it annoyed me nonetheless.

In any case, the Flames' system is pretty thin these days. We're going to need some fast and maybe unexpected risers to give us very much to get excited about on the farm.
It is semantics.

Hughes is currently considered part of New Jerseys farm system. No one knows for sure if he makes the team. He could get injured.

And where would you draw the line?

They aren't ranking the teams ability to manage and develop prospects. They are ranking the current prospects.
