Granlund was called up a month later
Making the team out of camp isn't the final opportunity players have, as shown by the players you listed.

And where is Raymond.... for the next 2 years.
If it happens that Hudler and Jones start the season playing better than Frolik (even chance of that IMO) and Jooris and Granlund are as good or better than Frolik (longer shot but not outside the realm of rational thought... all are NHL level players) who gets to sit and who gets the 4th line minutes? You can see the meritocracy that works so well for the Flames last year starting to crumble....
