I agree with this message. I think our goaltending prospects need some more love though.

 

[Taranis]

Meh we will take a goaltender in the 4-5th round next year and we will have "a deep developed goaltender pool".

 

[WhereIsIt]

Cool. Thanks HF!

Not to worried about the goalie depth of Ortio, Gillies and McDonald. They all have a chance to be good NHL goalies and with Hiller and Ramo playing well they have plenty of time to develop.

 

[Taranis]

Considering Gillies and Ortio could be our future with McDonald an unknown but highly respected goalie I think its a bit silly to say its a weakness for the Flames.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Ortio so far, in my opinion is having a very bad, step back season this year, and it's been going on since the rookie tournament. If he doesn't get going again, we don't have a lights out goalie prospect pool. Gillies and McDonald both have talent, and could be very good, but niether has played at a professional level, so there are unknowns there. I wouldn't label them as weak, but definitely not particularily strong.

 

[Rangediddy]

Won't Gaudreau, Baertschi, Reinhart and possibly Granlund come off as prospects at the end of this season? If they do, where would we rank after they're not considered prospects?

Does Bennett, Seiloff, Wotherspoon, McDonald, Poirier keep us in the top 10 prospect pool?

Depends on who we get in the draft as well.

Well it looks like McEichel is an afterthought at this point, we'll probably be picking somewhere in the 10-20 range. Any names stand out to you guys in that range? Personally I like Jeremy Roy. RHD with huge offensive upside, our system could really use 'em. Pretty much anyone this year will be a good pick though.

(so long as they don't trade down and take a high school kid ranked in the 2nd round)

 

[Ashera]

Great problem to have as far as a deep draft with a winning, hard-working culture being cultivated at the same time.

We get to enjoy some awesome never quit hockey without the 'major' risk of getting a bad pick.

I think Jeremy Roy goes in the top ten imo

 

[Steven]

He's a bit of a wildcard right now. I've seen him ranked in the top ten a few time, but almost exclusively in the 10-20 range. However, as of Nov 5 ISS has him all the way down at 23

Ivan Provorov is another interesting D that could be in our range. He's been red hot for Brandon this season, and his stock is shooting up fast. Seriously, 8 goals and 24 points in 22 games as a D that hasn't even been drafted yet

 

[tfong]

I think we can get Klynington at this rate.

 

[Skobel24]

Nic Roy, Daniel Sprong, or Jordan Greenway. Any of those three would be awesome to have.

Sprong and Roy are my favorites. I'd also look at Werenski, White, and Rantanen.

 

[Gritty]

My buddy is in this draft class and is shooting up the draft rankings quick! Ryan Pilon.

He's a big D who plays a physical shut-down game with good mobility and good offensive upside. I think he's gonna be a really good 2/3 Dman in this league... with 1D potential.

 

[Master Bill]

Sprong is a candidate to go top 5 in this draft. He'll probably be unavailable when it's our turn to pick.

Are you being serious?

 

[King In The North]

If we had a Zadarov or Risto in our pool I'm sure we would have edged out Buffalo. Calgary has come a long, long way since having Nemisz in our top 5 for mulitple years

Or even Maatta . . .

You went there...

 

[King In The North]

Too soon man, too soon

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Or even Maatta . . .

I still remember screaming at the TV calling Feaster a ****-tard because I wanted Maatta so badly.

No offence to your buddy, I'm sure he's a really good guy.. there's just something about a dman with this last name that makes me skeptical

Just looked him up, seems to be having a good year and boasts a pretty good junior career thus far

THN ranked our prospect pool 23rd in their 2014-15 yearbook

Not cool
