Flames GM stands firm on Parekh’s NHL path: ‘Junior is not the place for him’

No shit
Then friggin play him.
Sitting is worse than either option
If the Flames doesn’t want him in the NHL or the minors, can’t they send him in the AHL? I thought one 19 years old could be sent down per team? Or does that starts in the next CBA?
Yet the Flames are a hot mess under Huska. Not saying they would necessarily win more games, but certain guys would (do I dare say should) be getting more ice time.
Yeah, he’s clearly super talented. The speed and rhe muscle need some work, but the edges and IQ are next level. Kid is going to be a star in a couple years.
I don’t mind scratching players who aren’t playing well. Perfect example is Matt Coronato. There was a huge uproar from flames fans when he got scratched. Matty was legitimately awful before his scratch in every game. Scratching him was fine with me. Parekh was getting better and more confident pretty much every single game before he was scratched. He didn’t deserve it. There almost definitely will be times where Zayne will deserve a seat in the press box for a game, but that was not the time.
I could see him loaned to Team Canada for World Juniors.
