What are realistic expectations for Parekh at this world juniors tournament
21 comments
Domination. He should be a man playing among boys.
He is not a defensive liability but lights it up on the PP.
I think he is going to have a great tournament. He played really well in the pre-competition game last night and it was his first game in 6 weeks. He specifically looked really good QBing the Canadian powerplay.
I think he’ll do great on the power play if he is truly the quarterback of it
Dominate, like he usually has against others his age. I really hope this is a big confidence boost for him
Best case scenario, he dominates as hopefully the best defenseman on the gold winning team, and plays with some confidence
To be an absolute stud
If he doesn’t light it up or obviously stand out we should be concerned
Another injury
If he doesn’t get injured, that’s a win in my books.
6 games, 14 goals, 26 assists at the minimum
Brake some records
Don’t get rocked or hurt. Head up.
He scores 1400 points and solidifies his place in the Hall of Fame.
50 goals and 69 assists.
Leading in PP points and the ‘c’
Let the kid have fun!
Solid defense first plays. First back and thinking 2 steps ahead. Kid has talent. Lets see him round it out.
I expect him to wear a Team Canada jersey and play Defence.
I hate setting expectations for kids tbh but it feels like he’s got the NHL experience and junior pedigree that anything short of being one of the best players at the tournament would be a disappointment.
Lofty point totals would be nice but not seeing too many bad junior habits creep back in might be more important tbh.
Best Canadian player of all time, 50 points and somehow a .925 save percentage or better
ripping some ridic genos so I can feel something again
