-The top 10 prospects:
1) Logan Cooley, C (ARI)
2) Simon Edvinsson, D (DET)
3) Luke Hughes, D (NJ)
4) Shane Wright, C (SEA)
5) David Jiricek, D (CLB)
6) Simon Nemec, D (NJ)
7) Yaroslav Askarov, G (NAS)
8) Jesper Wallstedt, G (MIN)
9) Brandt Clarke, D (LA)
10) Cutter Gauthier, LW (PHI)

-The top goalies after Askarov and Wallstedt are Sebastian Cossa (DET, 32nd), Dustin Wolf (CAL, 33rd), Pyotr Kotchetkov (CAR, 52nd), Lukas Dostal (ANA, 74th), and Akira Schmid (NJ, 99th)

-Flames top 10 in order are Coronato (23rd overall), Wolf (33rd overall), Pelletier (43rd overall), Zary (60th overall), Poirier (89th overall), Kuznetsov, Schwindt, Ronni, Stromgren, and Sergeev.

-Flames are one of 6 teams to have 5 prospects ranked in the top-100, yet we are ranked 26th???
I know I'm not going to find a lot of opposition here, but Wolf is the best goalie prospect league wide. The numbers bare that out clearly. Based on where those other goalies are, I feel pretty confident in saying that he's a top 5 prospect overall. With that, the prospect system actually seems pretty damn good.
