We’ve already done an in-depth piece on Parascak, and while there were perhaps other players available with potentially high ceilings at that point, the more that’s learned about the kid, the more impressive he seems.
There are two factors that make him intriguing. First, his age; he was a 17-year-old throughout his entire WHL season and put up the points that he did. Second, this was his very first WHL season, which is very rare. Besides Parascak, of the 52 first-round WHL players in the last 10 drafts, only five did not play at least 20 games in the WHL the season before.
