Interesting from the Huska interview that the plan for Honzek was originally play some preseason games then Wranglers.

Honestly, I'm a big proponent of savings prospects from clown shows.

I don't think this team will be very good. I don't think we have a defence that can hang consistently at the NHL level to be able to be able to string together wins like you have to do in the NHL. Brzustewicz and Parekh should be no where near the big club unless it's a cup of coffee to just understand the speed and what they need to improve on. Honzek making the team is a pleasant surprise, and on a high note at least he'll be playing with some legit NHLers.

The Flames seem to really like Bru a lot, not sure if he'll get some games this year with all the 7-8 guys we have + Poirier/Grush, etc. , but if he doesn't make the team next year I'm sure he'll get called up throughout the year.

I see Parekh as at least 2-3 years away from the NHL, but who knows, he himself said he didn't have a great camp and didn't play to his strengths, so maybe he comes in next year and dazzles.

No need to rush any of the D prospects with so many 7-8 d-men on the team or in the AHL. Let them develop in the A where they can win some games before being thrown to the wolves.
