Sure, but best prospect? Not a chance. I'd agree top 10 or even top five, but top prospect is laughable. Dube top five? Again, laughable. That's like suggesting someone out of high school is your best academic prospect. You know what it is like to make the climb through the various level of academia. Same applies to athletics. Unless someone is exceptional, like a McDavid, you can't make that projection and be taken serious. To suggest that someone out of high school is going to be a PhD candidate, and the top of their class, is plain asinine. Parsons is just graduating high school at this point. To suggest as much is to claim he is the Lebron James of goaltending.
