Parsons wasn't a depth guy either - he was amazing in junior - won the Memorial cup. What he did the following season was truly exceptional. Button stated that the Flames weren't planning on drafting a goalie that year, but when their turn came up in the 2nd round, they couldn't get past Parsons.
Injuries/concussion/depression - that ended his career when he turned pro, but when he was drafted, there was a lot of noise around him. Kid was a standout and was winning everything there was to win.
