Corey Pronman’s deep dive into the farm system of every NHL organization includes a ranking of all of the team’s prospects, broken into tiers based on their projection; the impact on the upcoming season and an overall ranking of all players under 23. Further explanation of Pronman’s system and the complete ranking of all 31 teams can be found here.



Flames fans shouldn’t be shocked to see their system ranked low given the club had no picks this year until the fourth round. The strength of Calgary’s system is at the AHL level, as the organization has several quality prospects close to making the jump. First-round pick Juuso Valimaki is very good, too. There isn’t a real high-end prospect in their system, but given how few picks they’ve had recently, I think it could be a lot worse.



Team’s 2017 ranking*: No. 25
