Being good in the AHL doesn't always translate into success either. Calgary's prospects may be good, but you never know how they'll pan out in the NHL, and so far many of our own prospects haven't panned out into quality NHL players. Calgary is also far to D heavy right now. We need more offensive pazz. Though I am excited for Backlund, the kid looks good.

Sure high draft picks doesn't automatically equal becoming great, but it doesn't always equal failure either. For every Altanta and Columbus there is a Penguins or Blackhawks.
