I haven’t mentioned the hawks once, just used two very commonly known examples of players who fit this situation to a tee. Could use Zegras, Yamamoto, Bennett, Nichuskin, Drouin, N. Robertson, Knight, Sillinger etc. Could name an example from almost every team, players who obviously have the talent and/or physical gifts, but regressed and changed their game or were rushed and don’t resemble anything close to what their potential once was. Could name an example from every team under every coach, and unless you think there’s no such thing as a good coach I don’t know what to tell you.
Once again you’re using examples of a player like Tkachuk who just had a slow adjustment. He had 48 points in his 18 year old season, he was ready for the NHL. There is a passable chance Parekh is not quite ready for the NHL at all next season, and we are discussing the impacts that could have on his career if that ends up being the case.
Your opinion seems to be that as long as Huska is ok with it and doesn’t punish him, Parekh would be unphased by getting turnstiled by players and none of his usual tricks working while he struggles to produce for his first full season? Maybe this is all a misunderstanding if that’s not the case, because I’m saying if he has year where he gets bullied by NHLers while he struggles with strength, and a big majority of his usual magic ends up in chances against instead of for, that could negatively effect his development regardless of how Huska handles it.
