Problem is UMass is a step up from the OHL. If that was an option for Parekh I'm sure they would look at it, but right now it's OHL or NHL. I don't see how another season in the OHL benefits his development in any way so you have to figure out to promote his development in the NHL which like Royle said is sheltered, offensive minutes.
