I have a feeling we'll see a lot of the kids in the beginning of the year or a few months in. Whether they're there just for exposure or really close to earning a role is beyond me.

I'm not sure if any of the "kids" would get a role straight out of training camp. Even someone like Gaudreau whom I feel is probably ready for the NHL may either be sheltered in, sent down for a month or two, then given full time starting October/November.

So in the end, I have no idea who will be full time. But I believe we may see most of that list in Flames jerseys even if we don't know if it's for 8 games or more

I think Treliving is going to be sly and do a secret round of "cuts" where he watches how the player is adapting to the NHL game and send them down with specific instructions for development. He might even rotate the kids for all I know so kids fight hard in the minors to earn a few games up then to be sent back down with new developmental goals and new training regimen.
