Parekh has a ways to go to be a player like Q Hughes, but L Hutson did it.
Hughes averaged 22 mins a game and had 53 points in 68 games in his 1st year. 25 on the PP.
Parekh is younger, odds are it doesn't happen this year, but it could.
Flames get a bump on the PP and have a dman that is in the play a lot, Huberdeau is someone looking for that trailer that is never there with the Flames so far.

That effect gets over stated.
The average NHL team has 222 powerplay opportunities last year. The Flames were 19th with a 21% rate which would result in 46.6 powerplay goals.
If the Parekh effect improved the Flames powerplay it wouldn't move to 1st in the league so say 14th (move of 5 spots). That gets you 24.8% and 5.5 more powerplay goals.
If Huberdeau is in on all of them it's 5 points.
