[Taranis]

Looked great in the Memorial Cup, pretty good goaltender.

 

[Flaming Satan]

Disappointed that we picked another goaltender. I would assume McDonald is going to get buried in the ECHL.

The likelihood of drafting goalies that actually turn into NHL players is miniscule, having more goalies in the system isn't a bad thing.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

With McDonald going pro not surprised they wanted another goalie in the system. Kinda surprised this is who we took though. Pens took who I would have right after us.

Won't really know how this pick was for 6 years or so though lol, cause goalies

 

[Sean Monahan]

y tho

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

BPA, I like what I've heard.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Goalies bust at the same rate as players. Parsons though showed great improvement through the season. The work he did with his goalie coach was great. For me he's the 6th best goalie in the draft.

Tyler Parsons Profile

His quickness is also a strong point that was displayed during the playoffs and the Memorial Cup. Shooters had a hard time catching Parsons down because he could transition from butterfly back to his stance before the puck could catch Parsons off guard. Forwards and defense will love playing in front of Parsons due to his puck handling ability.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Seems odd for the Flames to pick a goalie this high. But after about pick 20 the draft was a crap shoot.

Seems odd for the Flames to pick a goalie this high. But after about pick 20 the draft was a crap shoot.

A bunch of other goalies are going in round 2/3. So if they want one, they have to get him.

Also, there are only limited number of goalies to pick. If you like one better, you need to go for it. There are more options with skater.

That's not saying the Flames picked the right one. They usually dont.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

To those in the GDT that were mad we took him over Fitzpatrick, I'm very okay with that. Edit: I may be mixing up my players now. Ignore me.

 

[Brock]

Had Parsons ranked 22nd among OHL players. Love his competitiveness and athleticism.

[Dertell]

To those in the GDT that were mad we took him over Fitzpatrick, I'm very okay with that. As I've mentioned before, Fitzpatrick is a die hard Oilers fan, to the point he joked about wanting to go undrafted so he can sign as a UFA with them.

Also, Fitzpatrick's HDSV% was really bad whereas Parsons' HDSV% top the OHL. 81.25% vs 73.41% (75.6 being average).

 

[aresknights]

Ya got a kid who has continuosly improved over a couple seasons in Lindon and stepped it up in POs and Memorial Cup.
Hes an extremely hard worker, coachable and really wants it. A good start.
Also had a late start to playing competitively on ice so he should only get better.

( hopefully they leave him in London for w seasons )

 

[Bounces R Way]

2nd round is a historically pretty good place to pick a goalie. Hoping one of Gillies, McDonald, Parsons works out, Flames haven't developed a decent goalie in this millennium.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Also, Fitzpatrick's HDSV% was really bad whereas Parsons' HDSV% top the OHL. 81.25% vs 73.41% (75.6 being average).

where does one access these stats for Junior?

Disappointed that we picked another goaltender. I would assume McDonald is going to get buried in the ECHL.

This doesn't affect McDonald, they are two drafts apart.
It's Schneider who might fall into limbo with this drafting as he doesn't have McDonald or Parsons' talent and projects more as a backup and will need playing time to continue developing.

 

[DFF]

2 Flames haven't developed a decent goalie in this millennium.

Mike Vernon?

 

[Dertell]

where does one access these stats for Junior?

Here.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Not a great fan of another goalie in the 2nd round, but at least he looks like he's pretty good.

 

[tfong]

I like his stats, and thought he was pretty solid in the mem cup.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Not a great fan of another goalie in the 2nd round, but at least he looks like he's pretty good.

Generally I would agree with that, but with this draft in particular I think it makes sense.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I agree with Hox. If it was the #35 in this draft I might have been more annoyed, but honestly from 50-100 there isn't a HUGE separation in this draft. There definitely was some elite talent in the first round, especially in the first 15 or so, some good talent in the 16-30 range, and a few guys that could be in that second tier as well in the 31-50 range. But the drop off was pretty sharp after that.

 

[moon*]

We had an extra 2nd this year and 2 2nds last year so I am fine with taking a shot at a goalie. If Parsons was the guy they had ranked the best I would prefer to take him in the 2nd then go with the 4th or 5th best guy in the 3/4/5th round.

With what can happen when you have no goalies and the way we have seen guys like Jones and Murray develop into starters I like the idea of having a few young guys in the system to give us a better shot.

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

Was one of 4 goalies invited to USA's WJC camp this year, as a 97 it wasn't surprising when he was cut(in favour for Halverson and Nedjelkovic). He was invited to USA's summer development camp coming up in August(Oettinger, Sarthou, and Woll are the other 3 goalies invited), I would expect him to be part of the WJC team next year.

He brought stability to the net that I feel London hasn't had since Houser. I haven't watched Stolarz since he left London but at the Junior level I would take Parsons over him 7 days a week.
