What is bad news for him is that Parsons and probably Rittich as well have leapfrogged him in the depth chart. I think Mason might be looking at a couple more years in the ECHL...
Parsons seems to be incredibly highly-regarded by pundits like Button etc. Does he jump straight to the top of the pile of goalie prospects? Where the hell does he play?!
I would normally say this is a good problem to have, but since all these players are old enough to play professionally we kind of need them, all of them, to log huge minutes so they can develop thoroughly. Going to be tough to accommodate them all.

THN has Parsons as the Flame's top prospect, with Gillies second. As a side note they have former Flame's prospect Laurent Broissoit as the Oiler's top G prospect and figure he's ready to make the jump. That's how long it takes goalies to ripen.
