Much tougher choices now.
At this moment I have little confidence that any of these remaining prospects will see significant NHL time or more importantly be impactful at NHL level.
I am going with 2016 draftees as priority over players in older drafts since higher ceilings.
Parsons for me as our earlier 2nd rounder the Flames scouts had very high in their rankings. He stepped up big time on the biggest stage he could be in.
Not clear that he is ahead of McDonald but McDonald just looked too shaky at WJC U20 tourney that I am very unsure about his potential. Lots of time to redeem himself in next 2-3 years however.
Klimchuk still has time to grow but clock is running out of time in Flames organization. Such a good shot but where was it last year in AHL.
