What Parekh is doing is unprecedented from what I can see. (although Brandt Clarkes 20 year old season is also a huge anomaly, but Zayne turns 19 tomorrow, so he is doing it at a much younger age (almost exactly 1 year younger)). Clarkes 18/19 year old season was nothing compared to Zaynes current 18/19 year old season.
Ryan Ellis, in his best year, still only had 14 even strength goals. He is the only player in the modern era to do what Parekh is currently doing, and he didn't even reach these heights.

Statistically Zayne is the best goalscoring defensemen in OHL history. Doug Wilson is the only one that can match his totals (80 goals through 3 seasons), but Wilson did that during his 17-19 year old seasons, and in the mid 70's to boot.
