Weegar is our best offensive defenceman and sure he turns it over but so do the best in the league. Makar is paired with Toews. Hughes is paired with Hronek.
Weegar will make mistakes, Parekh will make mistakes, but they will also create a lot of offence and they would become our 2 best skating defenceman on the team immediately.
Having a partner who can cover the entire ice is important, just as much as they give you the outlet to make plays.

Keep in mind that Hughes and Makar are the 2 best puck handling defenders in the league. Parekh is 19. Different requirements. When he's a star, he'll be positioned as a star. Right now, he neexs to be positioned like the 19YO nube that he is.
Again, fans and the total lack of patience
