[News] Zayne Parekh and Cole Reschny invited to Canada's WJC camp

I really hope Parekh dominates the WJ and comes back for a strong end of the season

There’s a reason he fell to our pick - there were questions about how his game translates at the NHL level defensively

Having him look like the anchor of our D for the next decade solves a lot of problems

Flames drafting Keaton Verhoeff and having him with Parkeh is my dream right now.

They're both righties though. Mind you, I've been wanting to see Parekh get some extended time on the left side to better utilize his stick for offence, so maybe that becomes a thing?

I still firmly believe that landing a top-three pick only to walk away without any help up front would be a massive mistake, though.

Zayne was a +82 his last two years in junior, he isn't the defensive liability that didn't play in tight games some are seeming to suggest...especially at this level.

I'm not saying you're wrong at all, but at the same time lets not pretend that scoring 107 points on a team with a +50 goal differential isn't going to get you a few cookies in the +/- column.
