So what? The point still stands. Nobody knows how these players' careers are going to go. Anybody who thinks Parekh is certain to have a career like Bobby Orr is high on something they shouldn't be.
Is any other player in this draft as good as Bobby Orr? Is any other player in the past five years?
You're not listening to what I'm saying. If Parekh was as good as that model makes him out, he would be the absolute consensus #1 overall pick. He is not.
In fact, he isn't even the consensus best defenceman in the draft. As other posters have said, you don't give away your best prospect just to move up in the draft and take a player who may very well be available at your original pick – and if not, someone just as good will be.
