Please don’t take this post as me being snippy, context is hard to get across in writing lol.

Jeremie Poirier has offensive skills, but is weak defensively.
Parekh doesn't have 'offensive skills', he is a unicorn. Big difference. You find a partner for him, and you shelter him until the defensive game improves. But you don't impede his access to the show.
Quinn Hughes was HORRIFIC defensively, for a couple of years. Defense is a coachable skill. And Parekh is extremely bright. And driven.
