It's true goalies are tough to predict and Jack Campbell was a high pick, but during his 2 years in the OHL he had an average save percentage of .894. Parsons had an average of .917.
I realize this doesn't take into account a number of other factors but my favorite things about Parsons as a prospect is that a) he has elevated his game at the most important times and b) he has shown progression year over year.
