Johnny Hoxville
The Return of a Legend
Who the hell cares what his prospect rating is. He is helping the Flames win right now.
If management is putting Ferland in the line up, he is right now ahead of any healthy body who isn't in the line up. Every one of the Black Aces knows that Ferland is playing and they are not.
Prospects can rise and fall. And Ferland is on a big rise.
Why wasn't Josh Jooris a top 5 prospect? I'll tell you why. Because he wasn't even on our list. Didn't even crack consideration for the top 30. And then he made the team and contributed. Jooris is in the NHL, making an NHL wage. Do you really think that he is worried that Agostino out performed him on an internet poll?
In the big picture rankings don't mean squat. Results do. Ask Sven Baertschi how much being a top rated prospect is worth.
Sure, but uh, this is an Internet forum for the purposes of discussion, no? I don't disagree at all, but that's what we do on here.
