Feeling normal and chill and Normal about this opening and did not immediately pause and squee and rewind and replay these five seconds multiple times.
Whenever I feel a sense of despair, my heart falls in my chest before it finds solid ground to let me take a breath. Recently it feels like even that ground is gone.
okay i was taking a while to write everything so luckily summer got ahead of me wrote up a great zayne history (hizstory if you will) here. but i will amnesty post some of what i had + some other relevant lore :-)
i think its important to start with the kind of player he is because it’s important and informs so much about who he is in my opinion. he is a special player, who plays like ‘no other defence prospect in the world.’ my favourite scouting blurb of all time on him: ‘parekh is a legitimate manipulator. he doesn’t wait for holes to open up in the defensive coverage to make a play; he bends opponents to his will and makes those openings for himself.’ just absolutely nails. he has said it himself that he considers himself to be a ‘new age’ defenceman (i.e. one that contributes offensively; he also acknowledges he’s not being drafted for his size). he was very divisive leading up to the draft on account of concerns around his defence (lackadaisacal without the puck, shied away from physicality), but he was ranked higher than 9th on some lists just because of his offensive upside. it was calgary that took a swing at him.
some pre-nhl history i feel is important:
zayne was selected 19th overall by the saginaw spirit in the 2022 OHL draft, the second first rounder of the spirit the first of which was 2007 born exceptional status michael misa. prior to being selected he played in the GTHL for the markham majors and played against many of the other usual characters (sennecke, dickinson, misa, hage)
he played three years in the OHL for the saginaw spirit. in his second year (his draft year) he scored 96 points as a dman and won the OHL and CHL defender of the year. the spirit would lose to the london knights in the western conference final in six games, who went on to win the OHL championship… which meant the two teams would face off again in the memorial cup, which saginaw was playing in as the host team.
saginaw lost to london in the round-robin stage, then went on to face them in the final. this game is on youtube and is a spectacle. zayne gets headshotted in the first period and draws a major penalty which they score on. the spirit go up 3-0 before the knights tie it up in the third [with 1G-1A by sam dickinson], but the spirit score the go ahead goal with 20 seconds to go and they win it. zayne described winning the memorial cup as the best day of his life, even after the draft.
In his words re: the london knights: they took our hearts away from us/ripped our hearts out so we did the same to them. verbiage he said a couple of times about this that i always found very striking.
also, amid all of this the memorial cup was basically seen as a showcase for zayne and sam, who were both projected to go early in the first round.
he played another year in saginaw after getting drafted, putting up over a hundred points and scoring 30+ goals two seasons in a row (the first dman to do that since bobby orr lol, this was always brought up). he finished second in OHL defenceman of the year voting behind sam dickinson. after losing his playoffs in the first round (which could likely be somewhat attributed to michael misa being injured and out) he was called up to the flames, and he made his NHL debut and scored his first goal april 17th against the LA kings.
other notes
since his draft year he has been called “very misunderstood” both on and off the ice… pre-draft i think it mostly due to nonchalant/disengaged nature (counteracted somewhat by how smart he played). this year however he was described on a pod: “people sense he comes off as defiant due to his comments at world juniors [...] he is not ‘overwhelmed by the moment or the magnitude’, he's there to have fun and play hockey [...] the nature he brings to the rink is different and not as serious as everyone else, which is chalked up to immaturity”
he likes to be the guy keep it very light, will laugh at you when you miss chances and try to cheer you up. maybe keeps it too light?
he wasn’t given an A in saginaw after getting drafted, with the coach saying that they “had to make him earn something.” he was later named an assistant captain after saginaw’s captain was traded, and michael misa was named the new captain.
he is chippy and talks a lot of shit! he was kind of an asshole and a cheapshot artist in the OHL, which unfortunately is something that i love about him. I dont think hes gotten quite there in the nhl yet but there have been fleeting asshole moments which is awesome.. very excited for when he really gets there.
he does love to talk about growing the game :)
he is the youngest of three brothers who all play defence, aydin is the oldest and plays D3 hockey at utica and isa plays D1 hockey at bemidji state. isa has been invited to flames camp, the first time actually happening before zayne was properly drafted so he’s not a total nepo. i have some stuff on isa here :)
shameless self-plug brief explanation of #agendas… i will elaborate upon request
1977/zayne and misa: more details on the history here but they are same OHL draft class friends in saginaw. misa has always seemed to be fairly lowkey on the ice, rarely trying to start stuff, he was the one put out in blowout situations… while zayne was not lol (chippy cheapshot artist etc.) which i just think is a fun dynamic…
1992/zayne and matvei gridin: both 2024 first round selections (zayne 9th, matvei 28th) of the flames. signed their ELC on the same day immediately after the draft at the dev camp, were given their NHL regular jersey numbers at the same time at the beginning of this season. they only played a couple games in october before matvei was sent down to the AHL (he was mostly there at the beginning to fill in for an injury). when zayne came back from world juniors (somewhat injured) he was sent down to the AHL on a conditioning stint while matvei came up to the NHL and they finally they played together again at the beginning of february. after the olympic break both were NHL regulars and so within a couple of months their chemistry became really clear. zayne scored his first goal of the season (which he had waited like 30 games for!) assisted by matvei and when asked about it matvei was like Yeah I hope we play together for 15 years :) they like each other so much
619/zayne and sam dickinson: to be clear i mostly made this up. but some of it is real. aforementioned they were in the same draft class and were the two top OHL defencemen going into the draft so were constantly compared and their teams were rivals during the playoffs in 2024. winning the OHL and CHL dman of the year award in back to back years is something that can be so special. to me they represent two archetypes of the modern defenceman (pure offense vs. mobile strong two-way guy) while one is undersized with high hockey IQ while the other has size and… questionable IQ. and the way this reflects who they are and also just how this manifests on the ice is really interesting to me. and they played against each other in the memorial cup and zayne beat him and they were destined to be paired at the world juniors and ruled the world and then it didnt pan out. and theyre in the same division and sam now gets zayne’s old best friend to himself. so let’s anticipate the flames sharks playoff series in 4-5 years.
1952/zayne and mackenzie weegar: when zayne joined the flames last year weegs was the guy to take zayne under his wing and they were together at the iihf world championships and it was all very cute. and then this year zayne made the team and he kinda sucked and maybe didn’t take things seriously and there was weird body language between them… and then weegs got traded devastatingly and zayne has spoken of how much a mentor he was to him. and now he’s gone for like ever now.
Fuck-ass Malvada redesign
Genuinely I love the idea of his character.
This lil redesign isn't exactly how I want it to look because I'm bad at drawing anthro characters, but it's good enough for now.
