Let’s fucking goooooo. While I’m disappointed to not get Tij it was clear when they made the pick another stud would still be available. Ranked a lot higher than Tij on most expert lists, which isn’t everything ofc but I’ll take it!

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS. HE WAS HUGE IN THE MEMORIAL CUP
I was wondering if they were going to take Buium, but last time they took an American Defencemen still playing NCAA, well, we all know….. So they went with a Candian D instead.

Hey Flames fans, he’s a ton of fun to watch. He definitely wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s super creative, although I’m not sure how well that will be allowed to continue in the NHL
With that said, Pavel Mintyukov went through Saginaw, and actually played with a Parekh a little bit before we traded him to Ottawa, and his game has translated very well for the Anaheim Ducks.
Mintyukov also played very similar to Parkeh , which is why I bring it up.
I’ll definitely be watching him once he suits up For the flames.

This guy is a jolt of energy this organization desperately needs!! Let’s go

Nice. Now just wait for Iggy’s other son and hope he pans out.

Can’t complain about a D that put up 96 points this year. Defensive D are pretty easy to find these days, but D that put up points like that aren’t

fellow brown brother lets go

Getting a potentially elite offensive defenceman could completely change the way the Flames play. Both Andersson and Weegar are decent offensively but are by no means elite. So if Parekh ends up being a Karlsson-esque player, then that’s a solid pick.
I really wanted a top center though but it wasn’t meant to be.

Nice. Most skilled D man available. Canadian. Probably won’t be pulling a Gaudreau, Tkachuk, or Hanafin to leave for the States. Cannot teach high end skill. Can teach defense. Happy with the pick.

Calgary looks like they got a little Quinn Hughes fella
Radu47
Dougie Hmilton 2.0
Fantastic on offense
Surprisingly good defensively
Overall 90% WAR
He is going to have a wonderful career

Hate that some people are going to overshadow this selection with us not getting Tij.
Parrekh had the most points this season for all d men in his league, and set the record for most goals in the CHL for a draft eligible d man. That is INSANE stuff. Absolutely love this pick, have wanted him for months now

Fun Fact: The top two OHL defensemen this year are both property of the Flames.

I hate to say it but Tij not being available at 9 really cleared things up.
