Gaudreau was 21 during his first full season and Phaneuf was 20. So they were both too old for the World Juniors. The Flames never blocked either from playing in a tournament when they were eligible.
Waaay back I think they did release Rico Fata to play when he wasn't really being used much in the NHL.
If Parehk isn't playing much and is in the NHL, I do not think the Flames would stop him from playing. But if like Tkachuck or Monahan he's a regular in the lineup...he will stay with the NHL club.
