so one think I'm sort of wondering, but don't know it its been discussed or even how to confirm further (if feasible)

I'm sort of wondering if Parekh is already the OHL career leader in even strength goals by a dman?

Per Quant hockey there are 4 guys ahead of him in career goals (he won't catch any of them this year, but should catch all of them if ends back in the OHL next year). for 2 of them we have PPG data, the other 2 we don't

1. Andre Benoit 324 (!) games 99 goals (42 PP, 5 SHG 52 ES)
2. Wideman 292 games 96 goals (50PP , 3 SHG, 53 ES)
3. Slaney 198 games, 94 goals (PP breakdown not available)
4. Rick Corriveau 260 games, 93 goals (breakdown not available)
5. Parekh 174 gp 86 goals, (23PP, 3 SHG, 60 ES)

now I don't know about PP time for 3,4 but given the era etc, I'm guessing they got their share- 23 is just a really low number for Parekh

2 other players enter the mix for goals if we bring in the OHA, you may have heard of them (Ian Turnbull is 3rd in OHA with 80)
1. Orr 159 games 101 goals (yes that's crazy and he was in NHL by 18)
2. Potvin 254 games 95 goals

So I guess, in brief. ? is Parekh already the OHL leader in even strength goals by a D and if Parekh has to return to OHL next year , all he needs is 15 goals to pass everybody in OHA/OHL (all the way back to Orr). Potvin didn't go NHL til 20 (draft rules at the time)
