So if we aren't tanking, what is the expectation to develop Parekh? Throw him out against the other team's best players and play him 25 a night as a 19-year-old?
Rasmus and Bahl got the tough matchup's, and they got around 470 mins (Bahl 436 but missed some games) against elite competition.
Weegar got 406 mins and Hanley/Miromanov add up to around 400 as well.
If you trade Rasmus, who plays with Bahl and matches up against elite players. Even if Huska gets his match up as much as possible, your 2nd unit is still facing elite competition 35-40% of the time.
Who pairs with Parekh and do you try to give him sheltered minutes in his rookie year? Going to be hard to do this with our d core.
Byram gives them options

It will be sad if we move Zary for Byram only because that might have been the basis for a Cozens deal that we needed equally.
I do think we move him though, and probably for Byram, only because he has value and we have log jam on wing that only gets worse when we sign Marner.
