I am a bit leery of picking a goalie this early, but I don't think Parsons disappointed. Yep, he had a tough time in the ECHL to start, but then he was pretty much lights-out. His SV% reflects his terrible start, but IIRC, he was damn good for a while in the ECHL, and was deserving of getting promoted to the AHL.

I give him a pass there on his injury. I still think he has the highest ceiling of any goalie in this organization. Kid is an absolute stud in net, and I bet next season (if he stays healthy - knock on wood) people will start to see it. He is one of those rare goalies that plays better the bigger the games are. That's the kind of goalie that lets you win a cup.

I still voted for Kylington here, as I do think his skills and attributes are very difficult and expensive to acquire, and his defensive deficiencies are highly overblown. Kylington is going to be a stud.
