It depends - if he has 8 or 9 points and shows he can shapeshift around big hits, maybe you do keep him up.
On a basic level, you have to ice the best team possible, and I have no doubt that Parekh is probably already one of their six best defensemen.
If he puts up 8 points but shows he has a lot to learn about avoiding hard contact, I’d send him back before he gets hurt.
Big picture, they need to finish bottom 10 this year, which they likely would with or without him, so may as well protect the kid from as much unnecessary harm as you can.

I thought the same thing - he’s got that Mamba Mentality about him.
