Brzu also coming up as soon as next year full time would also be nice if Parekh and Brzu developed some chemistry.
Lots of possibilities for top 4 ice time if Parekh can play LD. This is the time for trial and error.

I'm not sure it even matters which side Parekh starts on when the puck is dropped, he's all over the ice regardless. I doubt he looks much different playing on the left side vs. the right. Could definitely help to fix our RD/LD imbalance if they shift him to the left.
Makes me wonder if part of the plan with Andersson is to see if Parekh is just as good on the left side as the right, and maybe offer Andersson a shorter term deal at a higher AAV.
Future D pairs:
Parekh-Weegar
Bahl-Andersson
Solo-Brz
In the next 2 seasons, Mews and Morin slot in, replacing Bahl and Andersson.
