Azzy Mahmood Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Apparently the Habs turned down Parenteau for Bourque. The only time deals like that go down is when players fool around with a teammate s wife. Wouldn't be the first time in Colorado this year Madness if they turned that down. Parenteau gives you 3x the production Bourque does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Apparently the Habs turned down Parenteau for Bourque. The only time deals like that go down is when players fool around with a teammate s wife. Wouldn't be the first time in Colorado this year Habs are nuts if they turned that down. Seriously.... Madness if they turned that down. Parenteau gives you 3x the production Bourque does Agreed... Seems insane. Only reason I could think of would be that the Habs didn't want to get even smaller up front. Bourque, as much as he's struggled and really is an enigma, is one of the few forwards on the Habs with size. Not that I agree with that logic just the only possible scenario IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Then go out and pick up a couple of big bodies for the 4th line, or a bigger D man. Personally I'd take twelve 5ft 60pt players over twelve 6ft 8in 250lbs 20pt players. Parenteau has already proven he can produce out East as well. What madness.

canuck2xtreme Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Agreed... Seems insane. Only reason I could think of would be that the Habs didn't want to get even smaller up front. Bourque, as much as he's struggled and really is an enigma, is one of the few forwards on the Habs with size. Not that I agree with that logic just the only possible scenario IMO The only way that's a valid reason would be if Bourque was actually using his size and contributing to the Habs in that way. But he's not. So what's the difference? Why not get a better player? Bringing in a guy who skill wise, would step onto the Habs top 6, if not their top line, for a guy who's a 3rd/4th liner with a big contract... that's a no brainer. If Parenteau is available, the Isles should go after him. He had good chemistry with Tavares and the Isles could use his scoring punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Great call Curt. Although Vanek-Tavares-Okposo is tearing it up, if they added Parenteau they could have Vanek-Tavares-Parenteau / Grabner-Nielsen-Okposo. Those are two forward lines I am insanely jealous of.

Caboose Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It's amazing just how good the Islanders forward group is. With Hamonic and MacDonald they can ice one of the league's best shutdown pairings. Its a shame the rest of their D core blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury to Visnovsky has really hurt them, and now Hamonic is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzy Mahmood Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 How did I miss this trade...? Not sure. I ummed and ahh-ed about pulling the trigger on that deal for some time, then thought to myself, "how often do you get to acquire a player like Jordan Eberle?" It's early days yet, but as c2x has said, both Hamonic and Grabovski are going through tough times. And while the loss of that 1st round pick may hurt, I now have Jordan Eberle scoring consistently for me, plus Tanner Pearson for my prospect pool, and Zach Redmond and Gleason Fournier for some depth. It was the very definition of a blockbuster trade though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the very definition of a blockbuster trade though Grabovski will turn it around and provide depth scoring and add another playoff bound player (hopefully). Hamonic I have high hopes for, and feel he's going to be a stud in the NHL for years to come. Adding him should help stabilize my defence, which has been searching for that depth and stability, well... pretty much since I dealt him a few years ago. Both have hit roadblocks right now, but I have faith that both players will make an impact down the road and adding a potential top 5 pick is huge.
