There's no reason to doubt Conroy on this. The Flames brass have had more than enough time this year to assess how Parekh ranks against NHLers. Examples:
- He practiced with the Flames for several weeks after the OHL season ended
- He has an NHL game under his belt and didn't receive sheltered match-ups during that game
- He was on the taxi squad for the World Championship team (Huska was the assistant coach) and played in a couple exhibition games
