Great contract for the Jets. He's money.
Well that assumption is wildly out of proportion. No one is claiming Parsons is a franchise goalie, just a good prospect. 6 million is a hell of a lot of money for a guy with one good year, while struggling his previous years on the Jets. I’m sure he’ll be fine but still that’s a lot of money for one good season.

That's not really an accurate picture of things. Helley had a good rookie year, a poor sophomore year, and then a Vezina calibre year last year. In fact his only blip as a goaltender was his sophomore season. He was a high achieving/performing goaltender at every level he's been at.

Is he a slam dunk? Nope. But this is a pretty safe bet for a vital position.

Their numbers don't match at all as far as a developmental arc. Not sure I understand the comparison

So are blanket statements.
If youre sure ge is the guy, 6 years is awesome for a guy only 25 years old.

Should this comment be in a coloured font?

Flurry was unreal during this series. Conversely, you could say that jelly buck outplayed rinne during the prior series.

In some ways I am sure the jets would have liked to have helly for one more season to try and get a better read on what he might be, but if he had another similar season, then the price likely goes up.
