He has most of the tools. Except two:
1. Size: nothing can be done about this one but his style, mobility and aggressiveness can mitigate it. This is where the Quick comparisons come from.
2. Patience: going back to junior he over commits and does so early when the play begins to unfold. Parsons uses his athleticism as a default whereas elite small goalies pick their spots. This is, IMO, where Quick is elite. Quick is an extremely intelligent goalie and I’m uncertain if this is a skill that can be developed. If Parsons acclimated to the professional game in this way then yeah... he will be real good.
