For example i think Farabee will simply replace Coleman.
Our new top draft guys will easily replace our fodder like Shark, Beecher, etc.
our young guys won’t replace Kadri right away but will build towards that. I think 2027/2028 is going to be exciting. New arena, lots of young guys that will be super pumped to play.
Just gotta endure this year and next and I think after that it’s going to be exciting to be a flames fan again.

The Flames gave Honzek an extended look and he'd still be on the roster but for injury. I think Parekh would be as well. The pattern has been not to overdo it with kids on the roster. Every year there's been a couple who make it for extended periods: look at Ruzicka, and Pelletier one year, then Pospisil, Zary, Coronato and Pachal, then Klapka and Wolf, now Honzek and Kuz.
