Welcome to the Zayne Parekh Show!

On the latest episode of Flames Now with Pat Steinberg, we're raving about Zayne Parekh as the 20-year-old defenceman blossoms into a star. Pat talks about how far Parekh has come and why he's such a quick learner. We're also looking back at another banner game for Parekh in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

Pat then dives in with some intel on the returns of Sam Honzek and Jonathan Huberdeau (9:57). Pat discusses the possibility of an AHL conditioning loan for Huberdeau and how long Honzek's time with the Wranglers might be.

To wrap up the hour, we're talking with Dean "Boomer" Molberg (15:51) from Barnburner. Boomer gives his thoughts on Parekh's rapid progression and what makes him such a special player. Boomer also reacts to Kevin Bahl's season-ending injury and looks back on the trade that brought him to the Flames.
