Of course, this is hindsight.
No way should Parehk make the team as an 18 year old weak defensemen. Give him time to develop strength and his defensive game while continuing to dominate offensively.

Don't see why Monahan needed an extra year of junior and think we over value what a year of dominating kids does in terms of developing you for the NHL. If anything you just pick up bad habits because you can get away with things at that level that would never work in the NHL.
If you could send them to the AHL, I would agree but top level junior players can coast through a season and put up a billion points.
