This. I want to see Parekh and Weegar cemented as a pairing all season long. Parekh is too young and worried about making mistakes to be out there with a weaker partner. He sees things that someone like Bean is unable to see, which prevents him from capitalizing becuase Bean won't be able to make the same read, leaving a hole on the backend.
I know I sound like a broken record, but sticking Parekh on the 3rd pair with a 6-7 guy is the same as burying Bennett on the 4th line wing and then telling everyone he's not playing well enough to get a promotion.
Who buys a Ferarri just to chain a bus to the back of it? The Flames do.
I’d rather shelter him 5v5 than give him free rein on PP1. As the season progresses and he becomes acquainted with the NHL game let him earn 5on5 time with weegar.
