I agree with you that eventually the Flames would like a partner for Parekh that compliments his game but I can also see the reasoning to have him paired up with a defensively responsible player as he begins his career. Someone who can cover up his rookie mistakes while still allowing him to play to his strengths

Maybe the Flames already have someone in the system. Morin, Kuznetsov, Grushnikov, or Hurtig. They can grow and develop together like MacInnis and Suter
