Terik Parascak
The WHL Rookie of the Year nominee was red hot in 2023-24 with three multi point games in a row and didn't slow down until he was drafted by the Caps at 17th overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
The five foot 11, 179 pound winger led all WHL rookies with 43 goals and 62 assists for 105 points in 68 games and he's the first WHL rookie to break the 100 point mark since 1999. Additionally, he finished eighth in scoring among all WHL players last season.
Terik Parascak notched his first WHL hat trick with a four goal, two assist performance against Victoria in September and scored his first playoff hat trick in his first major junior postseason contest.
The Lethbridge, Alta. native also scored at above a point per game rate in the playoffs, though he got hurt in the Western Conference Championship with an injury. After attending his first Development Camp in July he signed a three year, entry level deal.

The question is will the kid play more WHL action or will he get a chance to shine in the AHL with the Herhsey Bears?
