Forgotten highlights for Gillies:
2012-2013
NCAA (East) Second All-American Team
NCAA (Hockey East) All-Rookie Team
NCAA (Hockey East) First All-Star Team
NCAA (Hockey East) Rookie of the Year
NCAA (New England) D1 All-Stars
NCAA (New England) Rookie of the Year
NCAA Top Collegiate Rookie (Tim Taylor Award)
U20 WJC Gold Medal
2014-2015
NCAA (Championship) All-Tournament Team
NCAA (Championship) Tournament MVP
NCAA (Championship) Winner
NCAA (East) Second All-American Team
NCAA (Hockey East) First All-Star Team
NCAA (Hockey East) Goaltender of the Year
NCAA (New England) D1 All-Stars
AND when Gillies had a bad pro season it was due to injury
So far Parsons has played at a mediocre level at the lowest pro level that can still be called pro.
Gillies came back from a major injury, kind of indicates a high level of compete and push.
