Legend Killer Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 He's had two decent seasons in the NHL, after about 8 years in the minors. To me, he has bust written all over him after he signs a big contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckbeliever Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Also to all the people that think Paranteau is as great as his numbers say are I will point to you a couple of things. First he played on a line with Tavares and Moulson the past 2 seasons so his numbers do get inflated. At the same respect as previous posters have mentioned he was in the minors for 8 seasons. Now is he a good player? Yeah he is but is he a 60 point player I am not sure and as a result I am not sure he deserves the 60 pt+ player kind of money. At this point he is at max a 4 million dollar player but you know some GM will give him 5 or 6. This is all coming from someone who has Moulson in a keeper league team so I try to follow him more than majority of non Isles fans would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baercheese Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Anyone can put up points playing with JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jen Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I really dont want this kid on our team. There is a reason 2 teams gave up on him and then when he gets a chance to play its with Tavares who is a top player in the league. If Av put ebbet with the sedins and he has 2 good seasons does he deserve 3-4 million? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I would pay Parenteau no more than $4M per year. I'm sure he would accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's good for both parties. Pareanteau is a type of player who is good on a bad team, and awful on a good team based on his abilities. Might as well go cash the biggest pay check of his life while he can. Do not want. Would bust in Vancouver pretty bad. Good play making ability is his only asset. Isn't physical, not good defensively, average skater, Might as well call Brendan Morrison back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Swansons Moustache Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Id much rather spend that money on Garrison or even Dubinsky. I just don't think he'll live up to his contract, or the big physical top 6 player we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My crystal ball tells me MG will make an attempt to sign PA on July 1st. The crystal ball also tells me PA will sign with a bottom feeder team for $5 million per year on a multi year contract. Dumb GM's overpaying on July 1st. What else is new?

L'Orange Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 $5 M over 2 years at $2.5 M a season. He wants to win, he joins the Canucks. He wants more money, and no chance, join the Canadiens. Or we sign Prust and Dubinksy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Parenteau! What a great acquisition that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 He would actually be a perfect fit for Kesler. Playmaking winger, sure, but his size is what MG might be looking for. You need size to go deep in the playoffs and survive the physical play, and Parenteau is big enough to last. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Parenteau Higgins - Lapierre - Hansen Bitz - Malhotra - Kassian That's a stacked top-9. 2 potential 20-goal scorers on our 3rd line says it all really.

Master Mind Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 If Jones can get 4 mil a year, you can bet Parenteau will as well, if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number1Pick Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 with the salary cap rising teams don't mind throwing money for players like these. Won't be surprise if Dale Talon got him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Oh, I didn't say he played with Tavares. To make things clear, he doesn't play with Tavares. He stopped playing with Tavares earlier this season and still produced points. Though, still, his skill set doesn't translate on a good team. Seems like he was given a lot of freedom and gained a lot of confidence from playing with a weak core. Kind of like what Wellwood was able to accomplish in Toronto.

ice orca Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Does any body beleive this guy could put up 70 points playing against big grinding teams in the west? We need some more size in the top 6. 4-5 mill to watch this guy get pushed around like a rag doll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
