He is a gu who scrambles well, and that has been his strength in juniors. That stuff normally doesn't translate to the pros. As much as I would love to say he's the future, he lacks fundamentals to be a high level goaltender. We'll see if he can prove that wrong, but he will have to do that in the ECHL first, and we saw how MacDonald did in that transition to the pros. It isn't easy moving from playing against kids to playing against men. Anyone suggesting it is doesn't have that experience to fall back on. Do you have any idea it is to be the best in your age group, them step up against the next level? It is night and day. Vickers doesn't give this step enough respect, especially for a goaltender with weak fundamentals.

Absolute B.S. I have watched Parsons more than anyone else on the board and fundamentals is a strength, not a weakness.
