Parsons was an absolute god that last year in junior - specifically in the playoffs. I am surprised that people have forgotten that. IIRC, the Knights got dramatically out-shot in many games, forcing Parsons to make 50+ saves on some occasions. There was no better 'big game' goalie prospect in the world at that point.
Parsons has 'failed' so far in the AHL mostly due to injuries. It isn't a given that he is going to make it to the NHL. However, I also wouldn't bet against him either. Time is running out for sure unfortunately, but this kid was a total stud in every way. If he can stay healthy this year, I bet he turns a lot of heads.
