G Tyler Parsons - London Knights, OHL (2016, 54th, CGY)

[gifted88]

Didn't see a thread for him, he's been playing pretty well though I guess you could argue the team in front of him is pretty stacked.

Where is he likely to go in the 2016 draft and how does he compare to other goaltenders available? I haven't heard too much hype about any 2016 eligible goaltenders really.

Probably a mid round pick. The big goalie to look out for this year is Carter Hart, who could be a first rounder. Evan Fitzpatrick also has lots of potential but isn't performing up to it at this point.

He's got 1 goal this yr, so does Sid...

 

[Zaddy]

I like him but he's probably a mid to late round pick at this point.

Sorry but this guys needs some credit ..

Playing unbelievable. I think if he wasn't in net last night it would have been a different game..

London PKers were great , but this goalie was outstanding !

 

[Advanced stats]

1.79 GAA and .944 save % against some of the best teams in the chl in the memorial cup thus far.

The second best goalie has a GAA of 4.00 and a save % of .883

 

[Llewzaher]

I hope the Coyotes can grab him with a later round pick , doubt he is there that long tho

And while I'm in the media guide, Parsons' GAA as it stands is behind these in terms of the series record book:

1.58 Adam Dennis, London, 2005
1.67 Richard Brodeur, Cornwall, 1972; Trevor Kidd, Spokane, 1991

From the games I have watched. Parsons has been the unsung hero of London. I would certainly consider investing a pick in him if it's a 3rd to mid rd variety type if he is available. Impressed at his ability to make timely saves.

I'd bet real money that Toronto will draft Parsons.

I'd bet real money that Toronto will draft Parsons.

I would not be surprised if he even gets taken in the 2nd rd. May be worth it in this draft.

I'd be surprised....one tournament shouldn't put Parsons in the top 3 goalies. I'd still love him in the leafs system though.

Just came here to post this. I'm getting a gut feeling the Leafs pick him at 60 if he's available.

That or I just really want him

Agreed...somewhere in the 3rd round...I think we have 3 3rd round picks if the sharks win tonight

So how good is this guy?

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Late 3rd rounder or a 4th rounder. That's about the sweet spot for him. He's in a good situation in London that he's taken complete advantage of so more power to him. A big plus for him is he is absolutely consistent. There are few goalies in this draft that are as consistent as Parsons is. However for me he's in a 3rd tier of goalies for the draft and I'd rather the Avalanche look at different goalies then him.

So how good is this guy?

By far the best goalie in the OHL this past season, statistically much better than the likes of blackwood and nedjelovic(both of which were on good teams)

Very consistent, very calm, able to play high pressure games.

Positionally sound, and big for his age at 6-1, 185 pounds at 17 years old. Very good highlight reel to his name already.

Just so incredibly hard to project goalies.

The downside is, this is by far his most dominant year. Other seasons he's shown flashes, but this season he put it all together. Hard to tell if it's a product of the team, or his skill level.

Thanks for the semi-scouting report on him.

That would be a 2018 3rd from the Sharks.

He's a late birthday...so he's 18. He missed last year's draft by 3 days.

His size is only okay for a goalie.

This was his first full year as the Knights starting goalie. He was very impressive. Yes, the team in front of him was impressive...but so is he. I think he'll go 3rd round or later.

He'll be back in London next year and hopefully be at U20 next year. I was disappointed he was cut this past year.
