Flames CHL Prospects: 2024/25 season

[Two Fivenagame]

Yeah it sure looks like Zayne is quickly outgrowing junior hockey.
He needs a big off season to put on some strength and get ready to battle for a spot on the Flames roster next season.

Yeah I would be pissed if he went back to OHL again. What is going to do? Get ANOTHER 30 goal season and break all the records again? Yay?

He's also T-7th all time in goals by a d-man in the OHL, and most of anybody who played in the OHL since Dennis Wideman.

It's ridiculous his only options next year are OHL or NHL...the NHL, CHL, and AHL really need to revist that rule, especially with players allowed to go to the NCAA now. 19 year olds should be eligible for the AHL.

It's also ridiculous that somehow Canada convinced themselves they didn't need him.

“I’ve got a lot of work to do, I’ve got to work on every single thing I can,” he said. “I’m going to have a really good summer in the gym this year, and there’s not going to be any distractions with the Draft, the Combine, or anything like that.

“I want to get stronger and faster, and come into camp next fall looking to make the team.”

But we need Drew Doughty!

Feb.13th:

Misa gets 1a, was -1, and goes 9/16 in faceoffs in a 4-2 loss to North Bay. He is 14th in scoring, and 12th in plus/minus, with 51gp/31g/38a/69pts,+33, 2 PIM.

Moncton defeats Shawinigan, 5-4 in a SO. Morin gets 1g, and was +3. He is tied for 12th-overall in plus/minus, and is 4th in scoring by D, with 48gp/11g/33a/44pts,+26, 26 PIM.

Gridin gets 1g, and was even in that contest. He is tied for 12th in plus/minus, and is 10th in scoring, with 47gp/28g/34a/62pts,+26, 27 PIM.

I think Parekh is going to shock some people come camp next year.
He's ready for 3rd pairing sheltered minutes with adequate PP QB time.
No different than Makar, Hughes, Fox etc in their first seasons.

I'll add that I think his skating looks weird because he stands pretty upright compared to most, and his stride is so efficient it almost looks like a glide at times. His lateral movement is next level, he just needs to work on that elusiveness that both Makar and Hughes have with the puck.

If so, that right side of the D corps is going to be crowded very soon.
