Parekh is an absolute wizard with the puck, he has a sky high ceiling due to the fact that he has such a natural ability to score from the back end. Out of every defender in the draft, Parekh’s offensive instincts stand out; he scored an eye-popping 96 points in 66 games, an absurd number for a defenseman, let alone one who played most of the year as a 17-year old.
