Default How many NHL games will our prospects play this year?

Curious how many games you guys think some of our prospects will get next year (based on their performance/injuries to the team etc)
Here's my attempt:

Jankowski - 40 GP
Parsons - 1 GP
Andersson - 10 GP
Valimaki - 0 GP
Kylington - 2 GP
Gillies - 10 GP
Fox - 0 GP
Foo - 40 GP
Dube - 0 GP
Mangiapane - 1 GP
Kulak - 40 GP
Rittich - 2 GP
Poirier - 5 GP
Phillips - 0 GP
Klimchuk - 1 GP
Shinkaruk - 5 GP
Hathaway - 30 GP
Wotherspoon - 10 GP

Olias-Mattsson - 0 GP
Prybil - 5 GP

If Gillies / Rittich / Parson are playing 16% of the games this then something has seriously gone wrong.

I see Janko making the team and playing most of the year, same with Buzz. I honestly see 2 rookies being on the team full time. I can see Anderson playing 6-8 games for injury relief and Foo being the first call up front. Other than those guys, I don't see anyone playing significant amount of games. This is the Flames year to go for it, I don't see any "tryout" games, it'll be make the team or don't make the team right off the hop.

Goalies are different - are we talking starting games, or just on the roster (backup)?

Hathaway will be a regular IMO. 60+ games
Kulak good chance at winning a regular role. 60+ games
Wotherspoon has a chance of making the team or being an injury replacement. 20+ games or out of the NHL.
Jankowski has a chance of winning a role now or later. 40+ games.
Foo has a chance of winning a role now or later. 25+ games
Andersson could be an injury fill in if any of our RHD go down. 5+ games

I think Shinkaruk, Poirier, Mangiapane, and Pribyl all have a chance of getting a cup of coffee this season as injury fill ins. 1+ games

I would predict 0 games played for those goalies. Maybe dress as a back up once or twice, max.

I expect Jankowski to stick for the season, so put him in the 60+ games category.

The surprise could be Foo, who gets called up during the season due to an injury on the team and hangs around for 30+ games.

I think Kulak gets more games than Andersson.

Barring injury I expect Jankowski to play 82 games. I think Foo has a shot to play all year as well.

After that it's too hard to say. I'd like to see a young guy steal that #6 spot on D at some point.
