A player needs to be on the AHL roster on trade deadline day in order to be eligible for the playoffs. That's not a problem with Brzustewicz, but a guy like Kuznetsov would need to go through waivers, so he definitely won't be sent down in a paper transaction.
As for Parekh I'm not sure, because he had the option to join the Wranglers last year, so I assume it could still be an option, even though he can't physically be on the Wranglers roster at the TD.

Parekh will be back on the roster, but he is still eligible for a conditioning stint in the AHL, before he gets back in the NHL lineup. That could be a good option for him for a couple of weeks.
