There was a point where Parekh was on pace for about 85 points this year – which would have still been good, but a step behind his 96 from his draft season. Instead, Parekh is tracking for more than 100 points and a second 30-goal season – simply unheard of these days. Parekh is too good for the OHL at this point, reigniting the conversation about whether or not 19-year-olds should be allowed to play in the American Hockey League. Since he already has his NHL contract, the options are to either make the Flames out of training camp (which isn’t ideal) or send him back to dominate in Saginaw again (which is even less ideal). That’s a testament to just how good Parekh is – he’s the most dynamic, dominant offensive defenseman we’ve seen in the CHL in quite some time.
