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.

I'm old enough to remember the Flames lending Peplinski to the 88 Olympic team when pros were allowed to go but there wasn't a break and NHLers weren't generally going.
