He’s trending towards Mason Macdonald territory and I don’t think “goalies are weird though” is enough of a logical reason to discount his last two seasons.

Again; I don’t know if you guys are aware of or have forgotten just how bad of a place Parsons was in mentally prior to the start of last years season which speaks to his first bad year. Add to that the injury woes he experienced this past season and it also speaks to why he wasn’t able to be consistent yet again though he was coming away from the tough place he was a season before. Once he put together some solid numbers on a small sample size. I’m more than willing to give him another season here, this one with seemingly no obstacles heading into it, as the starter with Stockton and see what we actually have in Parsons. If he has subpar numbers or more injury concerns then I’ll agree it’s looking grim for him at least with this organization but I want to see a full season first before making such absolute judgements.
