In the eyes of the court of the public opinion I think Flames management is in a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation here.
Scenario A:
Parekh doesn't get in the lineup, team loses a couple upcoming games, Parekh plays last couple games of the season and looks great. People will be saying they should have been playing him instead of Bean or a banged up Andersson.
Scenario B:
Parekh gets into the lineup right away, has some shaky moments and costs them a bad goal or two. People will be irate that Huska put him in when he's not ready, his confidence will be shot etc...
Scenario C:
Parekh gets into the lineup and leads them into the playoffs.
At this point I'm all in on scenario C. #### it. We'll do it live! No pressure kid!
