A year ago, Parsons was considered by many to be the team's top prospect. Even on CP, he was voted #2 behind Jankowski. Everything he did in the OHL and at the Under 20 Worlds suggests he has the potential to be a legit NHL starter.

Then he had a bad year and struggled with injuries.

So I get that the bloom is off the rose. But if he lives up to the pedigree he showed in his OHL career, he is a better goalie than anyone else in the system and is a more impactful prospect than anyone left on the board. The question is whether last year was just a bad year or more than that. Personally, I don't think you can give up on a prospect that quickly.
