Voted Raanta, but I am not in love with anyone available. The more I look at goalies, the more warts it seems they have. If there was a new poll tomorrow, I would probably vote differently. None of the option are really standing out to me.
Heck, if Treliving brought back an Elliott/Johnson combo, I think I could live with it now. He will have a chip on his shoulder and will have something to prove.
I don't know what a good goalie is any longer.
With that being said, magic number for me is 3 years. I think Parsons is a lights-out prospect. I like Gillies, but I don't 'love' Gillies. I do think that he should be pushing for backup duties towards the end of next season. Parsons will be taking over the net in 3 seasons though. 1 season ECHL/AHL. One season as AHL starter. One season as NHL backup. The average goalie takes a few years of stewing in the AHL (or Europe), but for me Parsons is not an average prospect.
