These kids may end up being studs, but to date they none of them have even cracked an NHL roster.

Also I don't subscribe to the "make room for the kids" sentiment, they make their own room by pushing vets down the depth chart, or they aren't ready.
Well. You can pretty much guarantee Parekh is going to be on theain squad next year. As for BRZ, I think the Flames need his game on the big club. I don't care if they're rookies or not, they have to provide an element to the game that the team just does not have on their roster and wouldn't be able to sign without putting up big money.

Camp will be interesting but I suspect those two players will push their way onto the roster. Their skillsets are desperately needed.
