Pretty scathing report on the Heat over at FlamesNation. Stockton is out of the playoffs again and the columnist laments both the lack of talent supplied by the Flames and the coaching.
And yet some solid/decent players have graduated (however temporarily) to the Flames - Andersson, Kylington, Mangipane, Rittich - With other notables Dube, Vilimaki, Lazar.
Leads me to ask - which is preferable from the farm team - developing good players for the NHL or Having a winning/championship minor team? (would like both, I know, but that seems a bit unlikely.) Do the Flames owe Stockton fans anything?
