I think people counting on Brzustewicz being full time next year as a replacement or part time replacement for Raz might be getting ahead of themselves.
Flames rostering two rookie RHS D next year seems unlikely. Parekh would have to fall on his face at this point and I doubt that happens. From what I’ve read/heard Brzustewicz had a good year but it didn’t sound like he’s kicking the door down, yet. Sure, he could have an awesome offseason and earn his spot in camp but as it stands I don’t think he’s anything more than a maybe at this point and given how this team and many others around the league operate, he’s going to have to beat a vet out of his job. Also shouldn’t be any surprise if the Flames shore up any perceived holes with UFA vets/PTO’s as a security and not have to roll with two rookie RHS D, at least to start the season.
