I get the hype around Parekh and that he's put up a historically special season in the OHL but to ignore how amazing Dahlin was at the same age and how great he is now -- on a very crap team -- isn't a proper evaluation of the two players.
Yes, be excited about him, but if Calgary gets offered Dahlin for Parkeh 1:1, it'd probably be smart for them to take it because of the pitfalls of development. You can't just assume he's going to be better than arguably the best young defender in the NHL.

The best young defender in the NHL? When the hell did Dahlin become Makar? You are vastly overrating Dahlin here, he puts up decent offensive numbers and is a career -61. Also Dahlin at 17 was still in junior, I have no idea what you are babbling about him putting up NHL numbers when we were discussing what they did in junior.
