| Organizational Comments: Red Wings GM Ken Holland: "He's a guy that's a bit of a work in progress. He's a tall rangy gangly kid that doesn't have any strength but he's got good hands and he has a nose for the net." |
| What GRC says: Fall 2011: Parkes is a nice combination of grit and skill who could develop into a two-way NHL winger. He seems to have that knack of always being in the right place at the right time for the puck.He gives 110% every shift and should be a bright spot in GR if he turns pro this fall. |
| Role: Two-way winger |
| Projection: NHL 3rd line wing |
