I like the player, just not for the Flames system. Straight offense, better defensively than reports would let on but Flames have always failed these players as they try to fix the defensive issues and change the player. I would have rathered Buium that already plays defensively but can put up points.
Takes a lot of the sting away from missing out on Tij for sure. Looking forward to seeing this guy maybe get a look at the end of the season when the Flames are eliminated
Building the team from our goaltender out. Zayne is a great choice to start a rebuild. The badly needed right handed shot on the blue line and on the powerplay.
I'm a die hard Flames fan, but I cannot agree with calling out Flames organization a "great organization". If we were so great, top players wouldn't be avoiding us like the plague. Nobody with any skill wants to play here. And I think that's why Conroy has stockpiled so many draft picks, because these players have to play here or not play at all.
If Arizona Coyotes were still a Hockey team I bet they wouldn't have taken him. Utah is playing off of the Iginla marketing and the new owner jumped on the opportunity. Worlds smallest violin
And you just know.... 19 is a number for elite centres ... Pree standard ... But you get a winger like a chucky that changes the game... Bold move but chuckys skilled enough to be a 19 bold move but fits... But have u heard of a dman wearing 19 thinking hes prime yzerman/sakic... Thats a goated sign if i ever did see one . a dman wearing 19 is hard af ..never thought it was possible
Wish it was Tij, but he will suffer in utah hockey team for decades, he will soak up with more experience individuals in that team faster than draftees going to Wranglers or Minor league
Remember flames fans we ended with the same record as Seattle only scored more goals as the tie breaker. We were close to finishing 5th and could have had a far better player but Huska and Conroy decided to keep icing the starters and not see the season was a wash and they should have been playing for draft position. Massive L by management.
Zayne parekh is an awsome pick really didn't expect him to still be on the board at 9..... that being said Utah is now one of my least favorite frachises
Interesting pick. Parekh is a statistical twin to Hunter brzustewicz, who they got in the trade from Vancouver. They’re physically very similar: 6’ 178 lbs vs. 6’ 190 lbs; 96 points last year vs. 92 points. I thought the Flames would have taken Sam Dickinson for more size, but lots of offence as well.
Parekh he skates like a hughes or a makar... Those guys are a bit better cause those are two of the best skaters on the planet ... Parekhs other really great skill which i think hes better at ... is his quick passing reads... Hes a utter play maker .. He makes amazing reads to teammates..
wow flames have the 1 and 2 ohl defense scoring leaders last year- sounds like Calgary's defense and power play has crazy potential in a few years and i am all for it
Congratulations on growing so much on your channel. You had like subs in the hundreds, your in the 2 thousands now. Fantastic job and good luck next season. Florida lit a fire to Oil and what happens when you burn oil? YOU MAKE FLAMES!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't think Conroy was expecting Parekh to still be up at 9. I certainly didn't. Him and Brzustewicz together on the backend could be absolutely insane in a couple of years. Fantastic pick.
Remember, Makar and Fox went to university . From what I've seen, he looks insanely comparable. That Saginaw offense was crazy to watch. I'd see them with both D on either side, jump into the cycle at the same time.. Don't know if this was something used all season or if it was a bad read, Luckily look like 4d chess.. Maybe just extra time as the memorial cup hosts waiting for the tournament
