On Parsons, I also find it helpful to look at the next picks to get a sense of who else was a possibility.
The best next pick after Parsons (at 54) is actually Dube (at 56) apart from that in the rest of the 2nd round you have Dylan Grambell and Carl Grundstrom as the only NHLers.
You have to go into the 3rd round to find the next great pick - which is Adam Fox.
After that you are going to Victor Mete in the 4th round to find the next established NHLer.
How is that not some terrific work by the scouting staff in that draft? They arguably have the two best picks from around #50 through the rest of the draft.
