It's also a bit of a different transition coming from the NCAA than from junior.

Parekh would have been fine over the course of the season. I suspect that if he wasn't injured, he'd be getting close to full time duty by the end of the season. That is what happens without a lot of junior eligible prospects that make the jump to the NHL. After missing so much time, they may have to reset the plan here though. Nothing the Flames or Huska were doing was abnormal.

I just can't believe how many people are or were freaking out because a 19 years with no NHL experience wasn't being given top minutes or no development goals in place, like improving in some areas.

It just gets so tiring that everything has to be a crisis or controversy. Eleven games are being extrapolated when they shouldn't be.
