I think the Flames prospect base is pretty solid when you consider that Parekh is the lone top 10 pick. Almost all (Capitals have done a great job) of the teams ahead of them have had several top 10 and many several top 5 picks.

That was the biggest one for me. Coronato as well, but he might only be a 2nd liner.
Parekh as a top 4 and sounds like he is saying he is a PP specialist.
In his opinion the Flames lack speed and size but have guys who play smart. I wonder if he is low on Flames prospects as they aren't as flashy as some>

The big question is what do they have?
Do they have two elite pieces in Wolf and Parekh? Only one of them? Neither?
If they have none they have a lot of work/luck needed. If they have two not so much.

Pronman is an idiot, he always has been and he always will be. I would trust the neighbors dog in evaluating talent over Pronman. He is like the Eklund of prospect watching, unreliable and full of crap.

One for sure IMO in Wolf.
Parekh could slide into that conversation IMO, heck even Coronato if he has another good year.

Honestly with depth at all positions in the prospect base, and from a perspective of pure asset management i think the next generation of the Flames is 90 percent complete.
But they are going to turn themselves inside out looking for that elite talent. Wolf and Parekh is a heck of a start. Maaayybe there is a forward pick that could rise above, but we really need that elite forward prospect.

Putting the Flames at 17th is insane.
10th feels a bit more realistic.
Maybe it's homerism but I would have them a bit higher, like 8th.
With that said I don't think it's an ideal spot for what should be a rebuilding team 3-years out of the playoffs.
I would like to see some truly elite talent upfront. Coronato is great, but I don't see him being a top forward in the league.

It’s their second offseason since starting the rebuild. Seems right around where you’d expect.

Quit beating around the bush and tell us what you really think.
Joking aside, no need to label people idiots. He’s not. You might not agree with him. if not there’s probably a better way to articulate that. What specifically is it about Proman’s assessment you disagree with?
Whether it’s Francis or Serivalli or Pronman or whoever I’ve never understood the hate directed towards people who write about hockey, especially to those who want to talk about hockey which is obviously the point of this forum.

A lottery protected 1st and a 2nd that would be come an unprotected 1st if they fail to take out the Oilers yet again.

With Ovevechkin possibly being in his last season and the team still pretty good, I wonder if they put some of those sweet prospects on the market for players that can get them over the hump now. I thought about Andersson to Washington, but I think there defense is pretty good as is. Maybe if we retained and took back Van Riemsdyk, we could pry Cristall or Parascak away?

Pretty sure LA’s pick was around 24th overall in the last draft (before trading down). Assuming the offer would have to have been their 2025 1st round pick (24th overall) + their 2026 1st round pick (top 10 protected).
I think that’s a decent offer for 1 year of Andersson but, if it was contingent on it being for an extended Andersson, that might be a little low.

Is Pronman the guy with the scorecards? Nope. Wait, that's Byron Bader.
Meh, I don't see the issue. Rankings are dumb and meant to be proven wrong anyway. Can't believe we as fans waste time and money and employ some of these media ppl. Such a silly way to be gainfully employed. Coming up with rankings about unproven athletes and the teams that drafted them.

Yeah and in general he puts a lot of weight to it an org has a top tier prospect
These were his comments about Zayne
The big issue with Parekh is his play away from the puck. He gives half-efforts at times defensively and doesn't engage physically. This season his offense hasn't been so elite as well to counterbalance the way he plays. He still projects as a legit top-four defenseman in the NHL who could potentially run a first-unit power play.
In contrast here is what Wheeler says
Parekh is one of the most talented prospects in the sport and has the potential to be an offensive game-changer. He might even be in a special tier offensively.
also believe he defends at a high enough level to be given free rein to go out there and be himself offensively. Though his defense has been a common criticism among scouts at times, I’d argue he has a great stick (which is long and which he hides really well until an opportunity to be disruptive presents itself) and reads the play at a high level in anticipation.
So yeah Pronman just isn’t as high on him. Pronman has a weird love for Yakemchuk
