Not sure what you are fussed about. He was barely a camp invite for the WJC for 2 years. It's just a fact. Was it dumb? Maybe. Has something changed in the braintrust? Maybe not. And even if it’s Zayne unleashed he has not played there before or with those players. It’s a step for him and it’s great.
Im not sure where this is coming from...Most had him penciled in last year he was a massive snub, people were shocked about him and a couple others. Team failed badly and there were major changes in the braintrust largely to do with poor/political player selection (cough butthurt Cameron) New coach and GM this year. Zayne was at the summer camp but was injured. They want him badly, he will be their top D if he goes.

I don't think he is injured. The article I read only said he was scratched./
Sorry, should have been more clear, I thought the point was that Parekh could be sent down because he hadn't played in 5 straight games, but those aren't scratches.

No, I meant that they should have considered doing it before he was injured. It’s too late now. Maybe they would have eventually, but i didn’t even know it was an option.

I don't think he is injured. The article I read only said he was scratched. Puckpedia isn't showing anything in their transactions either, nor is Google coming up with anything suggesting otherwise.
Hoping he goes to the World Juniors and then is traded to a top team in the OHL and finishes out the year there. Playing in the NHL this year does not seem like the best for his development.

Maloneys probably trying to trade him to Boston for Zadorov
Steinberg had some good tidbits as a part of the Flames mailbag yesterday.
Steinberg on Parekh:
Quote:
Zayne's progressing on target. Leans more towards unlikely than likely that he would go AHL conditioning stint before the world juniors. Just because they want to make sure that the upper body injury, I believe it's a shoulder, is exactly where they want it to be before he goes back to taking contact, and he would have to be taking contact if he's playing American League games even on a conditioning stint. Not out of the question, but I think more likely that he just goes right into junior camp as opposed to the AHL. Not out of the question, something they will consider and they will have the AHL conditioning stint possibly as an option after the world juniors
Steinberg on Pospisil:

I think it continues to progress. From what I understand they made a little bit of a breakthrough in terms of the recovery in all those types of things. So I do think that it's progressing and better now than it has been

Since we've already announced Parekh is being made available, does that mean we already know he's on the team? It would be kind of embarassing to announce that and then he doesn't even get picked.

They really need him to run their PP. They don't have a lot of great choices. For that reason alone I think he's on. I guess if the Sharks let Dickinson go he's a candidate but even then you have one on PP1 and one on PP2.
Hope the Sharks do make Dickinson available. He's not playing much at all and not contributing. He's playing almost 2 minutes less a game than the next highest blueliner (waiver pick-up Vincent Iorio) and he has just 2 points in 20 games.
