Based on his junior career and trajectory, there's rightful optimism Parekh amounts to more, but it's not even remotely as bonkers as you're suggesting.

It’s possible, more likely than Parekh being a total bust, but it’s still a bonkers comparison.
Bouchard’s OHL production was 60% of Parekh’s to the same point. Hell, Parekh has already put up more points in 3 years than Bouchard did in 4. Find me another player that people are projecting as a player who was 2/3rds as productive in junior.
