Confirmed Trade: [NJ/NSH] Parenteau for 6th round pick

[kypredsfan]

Word is his finger is not broken and he will miss 2 more games but should be available after. Not a bad gamble at all here by Poile. He is already the 5th leading scorer on the team.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Cheap depth for the Preds. Not a bad pickup

 

[ghdi]

Its fine for both sides. We got him for nothing and picked up an asset (even if a longshot) and he gets a chance to play playoff hockey.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Could help secondary scoring but he's a defensive liability.

 

[Hoverhand]

Could help secondary scoring but he's a defensive liability.

Liability is a bit over exaggerated.

He's not great.

 

[Mortiest Morty]

Well then it's a good thing the Preds didn't acquire him to play on the PK and shut down opposing teams lines then, huh? He'll be fine on Fisher/Jarnkrok's (2 defensively responsible centers) wing and on the PP.

 

[nomorekids]

Routinely undervalued player, even when he was putting up huge numbers for NYI. Another possession stalwart in a good possession team.

 

[Kimota]

Parenteau has to be one of the least respected players in the league. He keeps producing, keeps being traded/changing teams.
