Interesting to note Craig Button has Parsons as the 2nd best goalie prospect and the 12th best prospect overall ahead of such names as Juolevi, Dubois. So there's some confirmation he's considered bluechip league-wide.

So the Flames suddenly have 5 blue chip prospects in their system?
Any one of these players could easily not make the NHL for a variety of reasons just as easily as they could flourish. That in itself, disqualifies them from being blue chip.
I like the group of prospects we have but I'm certainly not going to assume they are sure bet NHL players right now.
