Let's also keep in mind that a significant number of top five picks bust.
Parekh could also be the best offensive dman on the club since Phil Housley (yes I know Gio had that one incredible year). Best offensive defenseman to play a significant part of their career here since McInnes?
Parekh could change the whole offence on the team. An effective PP alone could push the Flames into average goals for territory.
