He’s shown literally nothing good at the pro level even when healthy

Goalie progression isn’t linear but if you’re 24 and not good at the ECHL it’s over for you as a pro

If he hasn’t busted then literally no goalie prospect can be labeled a bust 6 years after his draft class, which is ridiculous

The Markstrom comparison is seriously hilarious. He won the world champs at the same as the starter, had started 40 nhl games and had three good seasons in the AHL. Very Parsons-esque
