That video analysis was great! Loved the videos he provided of what Gaudreau can do.

Yes the video breakdowns are great. The one of Valimaki that they did last year was very interesting, pointing out the specific things that makes Valimaki a special player.

Corey Pronman wrote a top 50 drafted prospects (skaters), as well as a top 5 for the goalies.

Of note:

Adam Fox - #16
Oliver Kylington - #28
Juuso Valimaki - #39

Dillon Dube - Honorable Mention

I was holding off on subscribing, then a friend gave me access to check it out.

Was impressed. Just signed up for a year with a 40% discount.

That video of the first line vs the Wild was great. Highlighted how Johnny really is a class above when he has the puck.

Parsons not listed in the top 5 goalies?

I reached out to Pronman on twitter about it.

Says Andersson right on the cusp but he worries about his foot speed at the next level.

Pretty good sign for our defensive prospect depth that we have 3 of the top 14 d-men on his list and the guy that many see has the best of the bunch and the closest to the NHL isn't even on the list.

So extend that out and maybe the Flames have 4 of his top 20 or so d-men prospects - or 20% of the top defensive prospects - not a bad outcome considering only 1 was a 1st rounder.

I just got lucky I guess. When I went to see how much it was it said I could get 40% off if I subscribed for a year in the next 11 minutes.

I'd just keep checking it till it comes up again.

I've been watching this thread intently wondering if we'd see signs of it being worthwhile for Flames fans. It seems the generally sentiment seems to be changing amongst subscribers, would those who subscribed agree?

I think I'm going to jump in with the next promo deal, so keep us alerted if you see one pop up. Thanks.

Subscribed when I found a 50% discount back when it first launched. It's still a little dry on Flames specific content compared to the hub like the Leafs. Even with the quality stuff for other teams (seeing why the Oiler's are so bad is always a bonus), I'd say that it's hard to be upset with a ~$3 a month investment for occasional entertainment.

At full price, definitely not for now.

Ya, I would imagine that’s been the general sentiment over the last couple of months. If your sports interest expands past the Flames there’s some great coverage of NCAA sports, as well as NFL and MLB

This is all very true. Despite not having a 1st round pick this year & minimal 2nds in the next two, depending on how the next couple of seasons work out trading a dman like Brodie is a possibility.

Knowing how Treliving operates it will probably be dependent on the quality of offers for an NHL or NHL ready dman or when Anderson & Kylington lose their waiver exemptions.
