Who is the best rookie playing on the roster now?
I posit that the best one currently playing was one they were willing to waive and potentially lose at the beginning of the year, so that we could play Joel Hanley/Jake Bean.
IMO this invalidates the notion that the flames are giving reasonable chances to young players. Parekh is another great example; they were basically forced to keep him because of AHL rules, but they stapled his ass to the bench and played him with pylons while telling him not to play like himself.
The third one is Honzek, who I am still not sold on as an nhl regular.
