So as recently as 2017, scouts/GMs have been getting it WAY wrong.
It isn’t about whether or not Parekh is Orr.
He certainly looks to be at least a Quinn Hughes comparable.
Would you trade Matt Coronato to make sure you got Quinn Hughes? (Former 7th overall pick, after noted cEnTrEs Barrett Hayton and Jesperi Kotkaniemi)
Because I would.
And I hope Conroy would.

Of course you would, but the difference between comparables and reality is that comparables don't always pan out.
Do you trade Matt Coronato and the ninth overall pick for Adam Boqvist?
Nope. But he was selected right after Hughes and was considered to be a fairly close prospect to Hughes that draft year and could have been picked higher than Hughes.
