That's partly why I think if the Flames get McKenna, you will see a lot of 'elite' plays with speed overall. Both Parekh and McKenna have that ability to manufacture out of nothing, and do it quickly, and I think over time, teammates will become more accustomed to it. Either way, I simply think the points will come with Parekh both on the PP and at 5on5 as he adjusts to the NHL, and his teammates adjust to him.

Really well put, I agree.
The Flames have a lot of mid or decent, non-catalyst type players. They'll need to learn over time to adjust to a Parekh or (knock on wood) McKenna type, who would serve as the defacto engine for the offense any time they're on the ice.
