His offensive and physical upside in exciting and I’m happy he went higher than expected cause I’m a big fan. Before knowing Parekh would be there, and assuming Iginla and Catton were gone I wouldn’t have been too upset with Yakemchuk as our pick. Silayev would have been intriguing as well.

Just wondering- who was the last star dman drafted out of the WHL?
