Hopefully someone watching Parekh on the regular can chime in, but Parekh taking a step back on the stat sheet isn't unexpected.
Saginaw went from a memorial cup-winning all-star team with 11 drafted players (including Parekh) to a much younger, much less talent team. Parekh doesn't have Dionicio and Donovan helping carry the load anymore, and he is "the guy" on Saginaw's defense now.
If he doesn't get traded, it should be a good learning year for Parekh to get the experience of being the defacto #1D and all-situations backbone of a defense (like Yakemchuk on the Hitmen)
