-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ducks expect Parros to test free agency: Right wing George Parros, whose pugilistic abilities and extensive community work made him a popular player with the Ducks for the last six seasons, is expected to test the free agent market when it opens on July 1. Ducks GM Bob Murray told the Register that he made an offer to the enforcer but would not be any more specific beyond that. Parros, 32, finished a three-year deal worth $875,000 per season. “Met with him on Friday,” Murray said. ”I’ve got a strong feeling he’s going to go to free agency and take a peek. We offered him a contract. I think he’s going to go to free agency, which is his right.” Because of injuries and the change behind the bench from Randy Carlyle to Bruce Boudreau, Parros played in only 46 games last season — his fewest since appearing in only 32 with the Ducks in 2006-07 after coming over from Colorado in an early-season trade. There figures to be a question of Parros’ role going forward as Boudreau wants to ice a fourth line that can play some significant minutes and signaled that when he often sat the winger down the stretch. Parros averaged just 6 minutes, 22 seconds last season and had one goal, three assists and 85 penalty minutes. The Ducks have four notable unrestricted free agents in Parros, defenseman Sheldon Brookbank and winger Teemu Selanne. The club is far apart with Brookbank on a new deal and will readily work on re-signing Selanne once he officially announces his return for another season. Center Rod Pelley likely won’t be brought back. “I have no promises with Brookie and George,” Murray said. “They have the right to do this.” http://ducks.ocregister.com/2012/06/19/ducks-expect-parros-to-test-free-agency/111440/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*vInTaGe* Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Smart, community guy. Sounds like the kind of players Gillis has been going after. Pretty good at fighting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Probably wants over 1M, since he made 875k. I think 875 is what he's worth, I wouldn't pay over 1M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Swansons Moustache Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Id prefer UFA players like Moen, Prust, Tootoo, Asham and Carkner that can take more of a regular shift then Parros but at the same time i wouldn't mind if Gillis did sign him. That moustache alone deserves a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creid Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Canucks defenetly need to make a stab at him. we still don't have an enforcer he is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Doughty Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 We do not need a player that plays 3 mins a game. Waste of a roster space. I am not saying Parros is a bad guy, just saying that we do not need to sign a goon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 He should be in the top 5 Canuck depth signings. We need to have atleast 1 legit goon in the orginazation, he can help mentor Kassian (fighting wise) and can police the team so Kassian can focus more on becoming a powerforward instead of the enforcer.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah, I wouldn't mind if MG decided to sign him. A great role player as well as a good fighter. Has plenty of size and strength too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Phaneuf Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Parros - Volpatti - Kassian * Why need a center when you got goons? - Kassian could be a goon if he becomes a bust (has the frame). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
