If you draft a player like Parekh, you have to live with the fact he is going to make a lot of mistakes that will end up in the back of your net. But if he can just get somewhat better defensively while still being dangerous offensively, the positives will outweigh the negative.
He just isn't the prototypical Flames type player that is great defensively. Huska has developed players before, but never a defenseman with this kind of offensive skill. It will be interesting to see what happens.
