Respect your opinions, but you can't go by junior stats to predict future success. If that were true, then D Ryan Murphy (as an example) would have been a star in the NHL. In his draft year, he put up 79 points in just 63 games. D Ryan Ellis had a better ppg in his draft year than Parekh had in his, and while he was an excellent D-man, he wasn't close to being generational.
