Parsons for sure.
Highly touted goalies in junior usually play behind god-like teams and look amazing because of it. Parsons was a victim of that during his draft year with Marner and Tkachuk carrying the way, which allowed us to get him in the 2nd round.
Last year, he took a feeble London team single handedly to game 7 against the stacked Erie team. Given that performance, he would definitely be in the first round even in the absurdly strong 2016 draft, and definitely in the top 10 of the 2017 draft (if this year was somehow his draft year).
He is completely the real deal, and frankly, I was disappointed we signed both a starter and a backup because I think he will be very close to making the NHL team (much less AHL or ECHL).
