Confirmed with Link: Devils claim P.A. Parenteau off Waivers

[Nocashstyle]

I like this move. I feel that Speers would be getting a bit rushed if he stayed up here. Hopefully he gets sent back, dominates the O and makes the team next year.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Let's hope he's this season's Stemp.

He will now be in the "played for all 3 Metro teams" club.

Oh god

 

[Hisch13r]

On the surface, I like it.

Though I've heard that if he doesn't get Top-6 minutes he will sulk.

At this point, I see it as a shrewd move by Ray.

He had 41 points last year and is our 2nd best RWer now. I think he goes right to Hallrique

Awesome pick-up, I like it.

If things go badly, we can get 2nd round pick for him at the deadline, if things go well, he can help us make the playoffs. Win-win

I just really hope this isn't ryder 2.0

I just really hope this isn't ryder 2.0

Like worrying about a tornado in NJ.

He's barely a $1M cap hit and has a one year contract. If he's Ryder 2.0 he sits in the press box. We also don't have to rely on him the way we did Ryder. Its not comparable considering we have other scoring options. Hell, we can even waive him if he was that bad.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

I like this move a lot. Should add to the depth at that wing and hopefully force competition.

How are Parenteau's wheels?

Disregard: Gross said on his Twitter that the knock on Parenteau is his skating.

 

[devilsblood]

Man Shero has been a shrewd player so far. His patience in waiting for the right move to come to him has been impressive. Don't know how much the lack of pressure to win factors into that, or if he will do things differently as we climb higher up that ladder, but it seems every move he makes is a win.

What is PA's contract?

Which is interesting because we often assume that the Dev's want that good skating attacking player.

I believe it's only like 1 year less than 2 mil. No risk. Solid move.

 

[njdevil26]

His contract is only this year at 1.25 mil

 

[MartyOwns]

does it really need to be said again? shero is the man. another low cost, medium impact move. love it

 

[JimEIV]

American Pickers. Need a meme quickly.

 

[Tanaka]

maybe this means a trade is looming

 

[JimEIV]

Doubt it. Shero plucked players off of waivers all of last year too with a trade in mind.

 

[ghdi]

It doesn't. The only move that is looming is someone getting bumped off the roster.

 

[Bologna 1]

I believe, historically, Parenteau has been pretty decent in shootouts as well.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Devils website has Parenteau wearing #17.

He wore #15 for the Leafs last year, so it's not like they just defaulted to his most recent one.

 

[FooteBahl]

Rosters have to be in by 5pm today right?

Boucher is wearing #15, so he had to change it.

 

[Feed Me A Stray Cat]

Parenteau might be this year's Stempniak. I like it.

EDIT: Keep him off the PP though. Yikes.

Devils need goals, Parenteau scores them.
