Zayne Parekh's Flames Future: Stay or Go?

Zayne Parekh, a Canadian defenseman for the Calgary Flames, recently made headlines at the World Juniors, setting a record for most points by a Canadian defenseman in a single tournament. The nineteen-year-old prospect, who was loaned to Team Canada in December, is now back in Calgary, and the question on everyones mind is whether the Flames should keep him in the NHL or send him back to the Ontario Hockey League. Parekhs first few months in the NHL were challenging, with inconsistent ice time and a lack of clear role, which negatively impacted his confidence. However, at the Juniors, Parekh showcased his offensive skills as the quarterback of the top power-play unit. The ideal solution for the Flames would be to commit to Parekh in Calgary, giving him steady minutes at five-on-five with someone like Joel Hanley and top power-play duties. If not, the OHL offers twenty-plus minutes a night to build strength and boost his confidence. Meanwhile, other Flames players like Cole Reschny, Mikael Backlund, and Blake Coleman are having successful seasons, but some players like Jonathan Huberdeau are lagging. Parekhs path could spark real hope for the team. Checkout Solipillow.com
