"Look at Binnington" is the kind of comparison I'd make to show what a future NHLer looks like, and why Parsons isnt one.

Binnington also spent another year in the OHL, so their pro years don't line up.
Binnington played in the ECHL in his draft+3 year, Parsons played in the ECHL draft+2 (and got some AHL looks), and was full-time in the AHL draft+3.
This upcoming season can be compared to Binnington's 1st AHL year,
2014-15 where he played 45 games, and posted 2.35 GAA and 0.916 SV%
You never know what else is happening when comparing ECHL and AHL season stats as well. From the looks of it, our ECHL team was a complete mess, whereas Binnington's was a well-oiled machine. Parsons was 1 of 9 goalies that year for Kansas City, whereas Binnington was 1 of 2.
