A) you have no idea what the f*** you are talking about. The people that actually did the investigation found nothing.

B) the rumour was that some guy called him a racial slur anyway. Which is a bit of a mitigating factor if you ask me.

lol hilarious how B) is the go-to excuse for any abhorrent behavior. It's used so often that it's tough to believe.

That doesn’t mean we can’t discuss it though, I agree it wouldn’t be fair to the kid but at the same time he does have a track record of acting out (warranted or not) so it’s something that I’m personally concerned about.

If course people are going to discuss and give grand judgements with extremely limited facts....sadly that's HF Boards 101.....

Saw Zayne live in Owen Sound tonight.

Kid is dominant in the offensive zone.

Couple of weakish plays defensively, but was the best player on the ice tonight. Goal and two assists.

Here's a cool video of him getting on the ice with some young kids and putting a show on for them.

Why Parekh over Yakemchuk? Is it because Staios complained?

There is probably part of that involved. Also imagine they view Parekh as part of the team next year where as Yak is aged out.

100% is due to age. Both are comparable but yak is a year older. Always need guys to lead the team next year which is why they’ll bring guys like martone, Mckenna and Schaefer will prob be 6th/7th d man.

Parekh is just as good as yak if not better and I don’t know if he makes NHL next year- needs to bulk up imo if he’s doing that and obviously work on offensive game. I wonder if he would consider the NCAA?? Regardless definitely see him on team Canada next year along with dickinson(regardless of of if Dickinson is in the show or not- he’s more ready than Parekh)

Because Parekh is a better player? I watch Yakemchuk as a Hitmen fan, he's no better in his own zone than Parekh and I think Parekh is better offensively.
