NYIFC Comments: For those with long memories, he was mostly a 3rd line right winger here, who occasionally played 5-5 with Tavares.#Isles Transaction: PA Parenteau has agreed to terms on a one-year deal. pic.twitter.com/Yxa06ywr1V— New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) July 2, 2016
He has not been the answer for Colorado, Montreal, Toronto, and declined from his earlier 16 million dollar contract when he left. What will be improved now at this stage of his career?
Not to make folks unhappy, and 20 goals is 20 goals, so we'll see.
It's not like they resigned Cory Conacher, Jack Skille or Pierre Marc-Bouchard to play left wing with Tavares. What's he going to do, outscore Brad Richards on a sixty million dollar contract again?
A lot of players coming off 20 goals/40 points, signed for more money than Parenteau on show-me deals.
