I'm with Bingo on this one. Parekh didn't look out of place at all, he needs to be in the NHL next year as junior isn't going to do anything for him. He needs to play against competition at this level to keep improving and working on his game. I'd say the same for Hunter as well, let the kid play here. His ceiling is definitely higher than any of the guys he'd replace so I think it's worth putting him in.
Suniev might also be a fit too, although I could also see a bit of time in the AHL not being terrible either. At least he brings a bit of size at 6'2 so I'd be inclined to add him in as well.
I'd prefer trading Ras and letting fly with the young kids. At the very least they'll learn and improve, and if we're terrible at least the next two years are the time for that.
