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

[OmNomNom]

waiving him will prove to be a blunder by garth for sure. esp if it's to see if barzal is ready (which i don't think he is). the only player who impressed me from the isles side was ho-sang. beauvillier to a lesser extent, though they're high on him

 

[OmNomNom]

Here is a list of all the players who wore N°11 (Scouts and Rockies included)

Dave Hudson 1975-1978
Don Saleski 1979-1980
Bill Lochead 1979
Bobby Schmautz 1980
Walt McKechnie 1981
Bob MacMillan 1982-1984
Rich Chernomaz 1982-1987
Gary McAdam 1985
Perry Anderson 1986
Brendan Shanahan 1988-1991
Dave Barr 1992-1993
Jim Dowd 1994-1996
Jocelyn Lemieux 1996
John Madden 1999-2009
Dean McAmmond 2010
Adam Mair 2011
Stephane Veilleux 2012
Brad Mills 2012
Stephen Gionta 2013-2016

he's in some great company with those who have worn the number for the last 7 years

We definitely needed a 5v5 producer, love the company he's keeping on that list that was posted. I'll bet the analytics team nudged Shero in PA's direction as opposed to Pulk. PA has had some nice possession numbers, especially last year.

That's good to hear.

Another feather in his 5 on 5 cap. Between he and Hall those guys really look to help in those areas.

If we can boost our es scoring while maintaining a strong PP that would be big.

Barzal was a mid rnd 1st round pick, who was at one point thought to be a top 10 pick, but fell a bit in the draft, in part no doubt due to injury, who then went on to have an excellent post draft season, and then had what sounds like an excellent camp.

He is very much similar to Zacha in terms of being in the "what is he gaining in Juniors?" camp.

If I'm Isles, and I have to choose between the above, or a 33 yr old PA Parenteau, the choice is pretty easy.

idk, from what i saw from the preseason game, barzal just didn't impress me that much. but i see what you're saying.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Yeah, if I'm Snow over at NYb I keep the highly skilled Barzal up with the big club.
He looks like a vet already with his poise with the puck.

It worked out for us though, making PAP available.

Wouldn't it be great if we traded him to the Islanders at the deadline for a 2nd round pick

It's Garth Snow and the Islanders, it's possible.

Only if we can get Gionta back.

 

[Maine Fan]

[Cult of Hynes]
