Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

• It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Prose

Lede

  •  Done
• Whats with the jump from being drafted to the blues, and then playing with Alaska Nanooks? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

• All-WCHA First Team - SEAOFBLUE Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

• Parayko won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Blues in 2019. - this is a significantly bigger deal than what is being said here. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
• Internationally, Parayko has competed for Team Canada - the Canadian team. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
  • I can change it but it is known as Team Canada (see the lede of Canada men's national ice hockey team)

  • The Rural & Edmonton Midget 15AA Hockey League is the league they played in but I have removed it.
• Is there a link for points, isn't it goals in hockey? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

  •  Done
• After the Oil Barons fell to the - the "X fell to Y" isn't fantastic writing, can we say "defeated", or "beat"? The term fell usually refers to soldiers dying in battle. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
  •  Done

• During the first round, Parayko led the Blues over the Blackhawks by becoming the first defenseman in franchise history to score in a Game 7 - is this really all that notable? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
  • It was their very first Stanley Cup so he was the very first player in 50 years to ever score in Game 7.
• Where is "Regular season and playoffs" sourced? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
  • At the very bottom of the article it says Biographical information and career statistics from NHL.com, or Eliteprospects.com, or Eurohockey.com, or Hockey-Reference.com, or The Internet Hockey Database
