Quinn Hughes was HORRIFIC defensively, for a couple of years. Defense is a coachable skill. And Parekh is extremely bright. And driven.
Absolutely.

Someone as intelligent as him just gets better being around what is happening.

Repetition and pattern recognition, it just comes natural just like how he skates like a water bug.

Shelter him and find him a Tanev.
