Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYI] PA Parenteau (1 year, $1.25M)

[exporta]

That's a great deal for the Isles. You're not gonna find cheaper scoring option. He'll score more than Lucic next year for instance.

You think he'likes out score Lucic on McDavids wing?

 

[Primary Assist]

He deserves this contract. Capuano aint the coach Babs is, but i still see PA hitting the teens in goals

 

[TheOtherSide]

Very nice deal for the Islanders. He had a good bounce back year after getting bought out, and now he is returning to the team where he had a fair bit of success.

Ladd (25 goals last season) + Parenteau (20 goals last season) + Chimera (20 goals last season)

Subtract 52 goals, add 65 goals.

Chimera is 37 and only has had two 20 goal season in his NHL career and he won't be playing on the same type of team in Brooklyn like he did in DC this past season. All up to Parenteau and Ladd to make up for what the NYI lost.

Yup, that's how it works.


Islanders certainly became an older team overnight.

Cheap option to make up for some of the scoring lost with Okposo/Nielsen leaving. Parenteau's point totals should go up playing on a powerplay that knows how to finish.

 

[donghabs98]

Good solid move. No risk at all really and Parenteau back with the Isles just feels like something that should happen.

You think he'likes out score Lucic on McDavids wing?

That depends whether you actually think Lucic will play on his wing. I don't think they fit together, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

 

[Skobel24]

No guarantee he takes Okposo's spot. This may just be a depth signing. Either way, at 1.25, it's a great signing.

 

[Unhealthy Scratch]

Great signing by the Islanders. Parenteau is one of the more underrated players in the league IMO.

Solid possession stats and can finish. Give him Okposo's old spot on Tavares' RW, some top PP minutes and I could see him putting up career highs in goals/points.

It's getting harder not to adopt the Isles as a second team with all their former Leafs.

 

[xECK29x]

Great placeholder until we make the eventual trade for Elerbe

Chimera is 37 and only has had two 20 goal season in his NHL career and he won't be playing on the same type of team in Brooklyn like he did in DC this past season. All up to Parenteau and Ladd to make up for what the NYI lost.

I don't think it's too far-fetched to think that Chimera could bring more offense than what Martin did. Chimera's two most common linemates last season were Wilson and Beagle. Those two players weren't nearly as good as Cizikas was this past season.

Okay let's completely discount Chimera's production because you say so

Yup, that's how it works.

Not at all. Ladd is around to stay, but PAP is signed for one year and Chimera will get bottom 6 duties for 2. Barzal, Dal Colle, Ho-Sang, then Beau, and eventually Bellows are all hungry for NHL minutes. Maybe if the Rangers had a stocked cabinet like the Islanders, you'd understand the importance of preparing your bluechip prospects for spots in the organization

Given we lack right wingers not a terrible move given the term. I know alot of Islander fans are going to scream that we cheaped out

But, didn't he really rake some points the last time he played with, Tavares ?

Isles lineup?

Last time he played with Tavares (2011-2012) he outscored P. Kane, Ovie, Kunitz, Pacioretty, Bergeron, Lucic.

Basically lines one and four are set for the start of the season, barring a sweetheart trade that brings a top six winger to NYI.

Parenteau will get a chance to secure that top line RW position over the first 40 games, I'd think. It's a not a guarantee he'll lineup there all 82 games.

 

[JTRAIN1966]

Then to me........that's an absolute AWESOME signing ! PA at the very least should be able to recoup some of those points playing with, Tavares . Capuano would be stupid not to play Tavares, & PA together at least some of the time .

 

[scott99]

Lucic will give McDavid more room to breathe and thus his point totals which should make the Oilers slightly better. Parenteau's 20 goals will only partially make up for the 52 goals lost by the NYI in Okposo, Nielsen and Martin departures.

Lost 52 goals gained 65 (Ladd 25, PAP 20 Chimera 20).

 

[Leafidelity]

Good for PAP, he was solid last year

 

[CrypTic]

Great deal for the Islanders.

 

[Bossy Mike]

Nice signing for the nyi.

Just an FYI....capuano IS stupid. Somehow he gets back to back 100pt seasons despite it.

Wasn't one of the main issues with the Islanders last season the lack of consistent secondary scoring? A common complaint that I heard from Isles fans was that Snow relied on the youngsters (Nelson, Lee, Strome) to be that consistent scoring threat, but all three struggled to some extent.

Obviously it's early in the summer and there are deals out there to fix this, but I still think that middle six (Lines 2 and 3) aren't where they need to be in order for the Isles to improve on last season. The Tavares line is fine, and the Cizikas line is very good. But I'm not seeing the middle six that can compete with the best teams in the East.
