A few observations
First Rounders: - We probably won't see Parekh or Honzek full time until 2026 at the earliest. Gridin is probably a season behind them.
- Coronato and Pelletier should hit the 40+ GP mark this season. Zary already has.
- We are doing well with first round picks.
Middle Rounders (2 and 3)- Kuznetsov is in a prime spot to make the team.
- Stromgren is on the threshold. He is probably at least year away from making the team full time, but he might get a few games.
- Poirier should get some games in the next two seasons.
- We have traded or missed on a lot of our second and third round picks. Hopefully at least one of these guys can make the team in the next two seasons.
Later Rounds (4+)- Wolf should hit the mark this season. Pospisil already has.
- There is a reasonable chance Solovyov gets to 40 in the next two seasons.
- Kerins could start seeing some games as early as this season.
- We are doing very well in this range
Not Drafted By Flames- Brzustewicz is likely a couple of years from regular NHL time, though I expect he will start seeing a few games here and there.
- Grushnikov is probably at least a year away from making the team, but he is on the threshold.

I have a feeling we’re not going to see Honzek at all.
