He has some "red flags", if NHL GM's though his potential was Makar and there wasn't alot of risk to his game he would be fighting the #1 spot this year.
I don't disagree but people know what Makar is now so it might get them too excited.
Like I get it. He’s not beating someone like Bobby Orr or anything like that but it’s still a record. He also did it a year younger than Patrick and in 17 fewer games. He’s going to put the number out of reach for a VERY long time.
The point is, does his skills package translate well at the NHL level. After watching closely this season, I have my doubts.
McNeill had 33 points in 66 games in his DY. Parekh has 79 in 52 so far.
And that's a valid worry to have about his game. But you can make that point independent of who's record he's breaking. One can appreciate something he does without having to look at through the lens of "well is that translatable to the NHL" every time.
Not even close. He’s great on his edges and average speed.
That's aggregation.
Noted. But there are at least 5 defencemen and at least 10 forwards I would take before Parekh in the upcoming draft. Regardless of his record. And isn't that what this is all about.
Yep. Seems like a pretty standard placement. He's anywhere from like 7-20 depending on what things people value more.
