Dozens of Calgary Flames prospects are on the ice from July 4-6 in front of general manager Craig Conroy, head coach Ryan Huska, and the team’s development staff. Salim Valji has more.
The 28th overall pick is committed to the University of Michigan, but was recently selected first overall in the Canadian Hockey League import draft by Val d’Or of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.
"Pavel Datsyuk, when he played," he said. "Right now, my favourite players are probably Kuznetsov and Kucherov." Parekh is the first defenceman drafted by the Flames in the top 10 since Dion Phaneuf back in 2003. He led all Ontario Hockey League blueliners with 96 points last season. “I think the want level,” he said, of what makes him want to play in Calgary. “They wanted me. It feels good to be traded for, and they came to me right away and wanted me to sign with them.”
