Both had historic seasons in their respective leagues and drafted just a few spots apart. Who is the better player, or who do you think will end up as the better player?
Tyson Barrie's draft year is ranked the 42nd most productive season by a 17 year old defenseman in WHL historyBuium could end up an Adam Fox type.
Parekh might become a Tyson Barrie.
I know which one I’d rather have.
I voted Buium, but Parekh’s upside is more like Erik Karlsson. It’s just a gamble on whether he reaches it. Parekh is like twice the player Barrie was at the same age lol.Buium could end up an Adam Fox type.

Parekh's is the 3rd most productive season by a 17 year old defenseman in OHL history. The 2 players ahead of him played in the 80s.
Who knows what will happen, but Parekh's ceiling is significantly higher than a Tyson Barrie.
Yeah, last 15 years the only notable players are Dougie Hamilton, Mikael Sergachev, Aaron Ekblad and Thomas Harley. Thing is though, Parekh outproduced all these players by at least 38 points.Look at OHL defensemen from the last 15 years that had high scoring seasons. It’s not a super impressive list.
I'll give you a hint...Both had historic seasons in their respective leagues and drafted just a few spots apart. Who is the better player, or who do you think will end up as the better player?
what about dual citizens?I'll give you a hint...
Canadian hockey fans will vote for Parekh and American hockey fans will vote for Buium.
They do NOT get to vote - conflict of interest and all that.what about dual citizens?
Ryan Ellis was not a dud. Late bloomer? Ye. But he was a #2/3 in his prime, it was just unfortunate it was cut short.Yeah, last 15 years the only notable players are Dougie Hamilton, Mikael Sergachev, Aaron Ekblad and Thomas Harley.

But if you make the cutoff just a few years further, that list ends up including PK Subban and Drew Doughty (who he outproduced by 22 points)
Again, there are more than a few duds. Most notable are ryan Ellis and Ryan Murphy who didn't amount to much but are just right below Parekh on the list and outproduced all the guys I mentioned in their 17 year old season
But my point still stands that his potential is massive, and his ceiling is certainly above someone like Krug.
I was like, what, not the Ryan Ellis that was a mainstay on one of the best bluelines in the league for like a decade?Ryan Ellis was not a dud. Late bloomer? Ye. But he was a #2/3 in his prime, it was just unfortunate it was cut short.
This Canadian is voting Buium.I'll give you a hint...

Devon Toews-ish.Parekh = Erik Karlsson
Buium = no NHL comparable.. but maybe Hutson (mixed with Andrei Markov).
But I clearly believe that Buium is a defenseman you can win with..
Parekh.. not that much.
Names for Buium that have been thrown out there is Fox, Morrissey, Forsling. I guess it'll depend on how well his offensive game progresses but its definitely a good start as a Hobey Baker nonimee at 18yrsParekh = Erik Karlsson

Oh I like that one.Devon Toews-ish.
Why would either do such a thing if they thought the they player from the other country was better?I'll give you a hint...
Canadian hockey fans will vote for Parekh and American hockey fans will vote for Buium.
Just wait til you see the Finns on hereWhy would either do such a thing if they thought the they player from the other country was better?
Dud was way too harsh. But what I meant is that he didn't really pan out as the offensive player he was in juniors.Ryan Ellis was not a dud. Late bloomer? Ye. But he was a #2/3 in his prime, it was just unfortunate it was cut short.
Buium. Slightly better defensively, bit thicker, bit better skater, plays in a higher level league. Still, Parekh is a RHD. They are like blondes, and get preferential treatment.
