Islanders fan coming in peace.

[Beautvillier]

Just wondering how you guys are feeling about picking up Parenteau off waivers. Was really looking forward to seeing him play with JT again but can't trust our management to do anything productive.
Haven't really gotten the chance to watch a Devils game this season, how's he looking for you guys?

I've been happy with Parenteau, since he's one of the handful of guys on the roster who can score and who will shoot the puck.

From a Leafs perspective - PA was excellent here last year. Great person in the room apparently and more did his part scoring on our crappy team. I think he really wanted to stay but we have a major youth movement happening. It took him some time to get going as I remember so he may pan out nicely for the Devils going forward.

Because I'm clearly not a fan of your team and I don't want to make it seem like I'm here to argue or start something with you guys too.
Don't see how it's an issue.

well PA was waived from the Isles

He was good for us while he was young too, kinda sucked to see him leave.

He's been fine but you can see why he's bounced around the league. Some talent there but he's replaceable.

Hall-Zajac-Parenteau was a great line before Taylor's injury.

Yeah he's definetly not a massive impact player, but he had a chemistry with Tavares already and was projected to play on his line, didn't really see much reasoning for waiving him.

 

[Bleedred]

He's slowed down a bit, but there was one point where he was literally scoring a good amount of our total goals. Now we've increased the scoring, while his scoring has decreased a little.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

He's ok. Nothing special, but a nice player to have.

 

[devilsblood]

He's been good for us. Given your record, I'd say it was a mistake you guys waived him.

Some team boards are very territorial about opposition fans posting on 'their' board.

I know the Winnipeg Jets fans didn't take too well the opinion of Thrashers fans in the early re-boot of that franchise. Nowdays its not a problem because most exThrashers fans take the hint and stay away / support other teams.

Yeah our coaching staff is abysmal, same thing with our GM, with Gallant being fired I'm really hoping we can get rid of them but it's unlikely. Line changes happen every 5 minutes during the game and guys who play hard get benched. Even if PA was on our team he would've been terrorized by the reign of Fred Flintstone.

As the Thrashers fans should, I wouldn't support that team for **** if I had been a Thrashers fan.

I hope they get relocated back to Atlanta. Relocate them to Venezuela for all I care. If it's too hot and humid for ice conditions there, send them to the South Pole.

I feel bad for the pleasant fans of theirs that I've had some good conversation with, but too many of them are way boisterous.

Haha he does look like Fred Flinstone! I never realized that until just now, but good call!

My ex girlfriend used to call him ''Daniel Boone'' when he first came on the job as a head coach there. He had this haircut, where the front of it looked like Daniel Boone's cap.

That's a good one I might have to start using it

I'm flabbergasted that his head coaching tenure outlived our relationship. It's hard to believe he's the fourth longest tenured head coach in the league. Julien and Quenneville being first and second, then Tippett in Arizona. I'm surprised he's made it that far too.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Parenteau for Leddy. Deal?

The only reason he's still on our team is because he lives in our GM's basement and he doesn't want to lose the rent.

I love PA but would decline that deal in a heartbeat.

Ha I would hope so. It was done in jest

Leddy is probably the only D who's worth keeping right now on our roster besides Pulock

What's up with de Haan? I thought he was a good one.

 

[Beautvillier]

He's good but he's definetly expendable, his passing is pretty weak and tends to give the puck up a lot.
