Parsons has a lot of development left.

If Treliving wasn't kicking tires on a future #1 he isn't doing his job.
Absolutely. But the Catch 22 here is that we need to play them in order to find out. Bringing in another goalie pushes all three down the depth chart and clouds the assessment process.

I would prefer to play this season out and see how everyone progresses. If we don't like how they develop, then we go hard after another goalie next summer.
