The AHL team is full of drafted first and second year pros learning their craft.
The guys you want graduated are playing for other teams because the Flames bet on their core and moved picks out from 2017 to 2019
2017 No 2nd No 3rd
2018 No 1st No 2nd No 3rd
2019 No 2nd
1st and 2nd round picks in years previous were graduated ... Tkachuk, Andersson, Kylington, Valimaki
Teams that don't draft in the top 5-10 don't have straight to the NHL prospects. Teams that don't draft in the 1st or 2nd round wait even longer.
But there is no need to hurry with guys that are playing their second year of pro hockey coming out of a covid lack of games period. Zary was even hurt to start year one.

Matthew Phillips is waiting for a recall.
Also do you disagree that cup winning teams win with home grown talent?
