Parekh will enter the NHL full time similar to Quinn Hughes, in his D+2 year (unless he forces his way on the team this year). There's no reason to think that Parekh won't make any kind of impact until his D+4 year when Hughes was making a noticeable impact in D+2 and signed his current big contract in D+3. Parekh will be an impact player for the team by his D+3 year.
