Blues take it

Because the Flames are on the outside looking in, fortunately with a 1st round pick in a historically deep draft while having one of the worst ranked prospect pipe lines in the league and the need for impactful cheap players in the next couple years.

What are you talking about the wranglers are doing insane this year we have great prospects. And the rapid city rush are doing decent too. Just because we’ve never had a 1 overall pick doesn’t mean we don’t have good prospects.

The Wranglers have 13 full timers that are over 23 years old. The pipeline lacks serious talent and is chalked full of projected middle or bottom 6 players. Any ranking of the farm system is propped up by an insane goalie prospect and the hopes that Coronato translates from college to the pro's. Pelletier, Zary, Coronato, Wolf are solid prospects, outside of that Poirier, Schwindt, maaaayyybbee Peterssen could crack a line up but no one really stands out.
