No complaints though...if Shero had just signed him as a UFA to that money, we'd all be happy with it. Worth the gamble. Guy actually had a three-season stretch where he played in 209 games and put up 163 points...it was a while ago though. Yep, like someone said earlier.. At worst it's depth coverage.

I definitely like the move, let's see how they utilize him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, in this NHL, scoring 20 and assisting on 21 and you get waived?? Even if he does half of that (10-10-20), those 20 points would be better than everyone but 5 guys on last year's roster, imagine that?

'7' Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 About as charmin soft a player as you'll ever see but, he registers on the score sheet and you can never have enough of that. And he scores in the shootout which is so so important. It could be the difference between missing and making the playoffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the first move Shero has made the didn't involve us getting faster? Not saying it is a bad move, just seems out of character for Shero from what I've seen so far.

Nicomo Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 He's scored 20 goals a couple of times. Not a bad pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's impossible to not like this addition. hes a very solid player- I remember just like two years ago I was hoping he or ROR would end up a Devil No risk, high reward. It's concerning why he was ever on waivers in the first place but I'm excited to see where they play him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Duck Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's a low risk pickup. But make no mistake about it, he is a relatively slow skater and is not defensively responsible. On most teams, his 20 goals don't outweigh the downside that comes with him. Hopefully it pans out for us the way Stempniak did last season. If not, then no big deal.

Daniel Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 He should help in the shootout, which is a big plus, but otherwise I see him as Michael Ryder 2.0. If he's not scoring goals, he's not doing very much for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not scoring goals, he's not doing very much for you. He's a much more rounded offensive player than Ryder. He's a pretty good playmaker but I do agree if he's not producing offensively, he's not helping much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Something IS kinda troubling with him being cast aside on the eve of the season. Generally this doesn't happen to good useful players who contribute to good teams. Ryder was just hilariously slow. First year here you could see he had very little hockey left. The shot never left him but he could not find space for himself at all anymore. Edited October 12, 2016 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Since 2014, Parenteau has been traded for a sh!tty and washed up Danny Briere, waived twice, bought out once, and signed with a team that ended up in last place. All he's done was be 146th in points/60 while being a positive territorial contributor as well as a shootout guy. He came from nowhere and teams always think he's replacable. It's not as easy to replace him as it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisg19 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 P.A. Will be great for the Devs. Watched him out here in Colorado a few years back. He is scrappy, and capable of putting the puck in the net with good linemates. Liked him a lot, and was sorry to see the Avs move him. There was speculation he was in Roy's doghouse at the time, but he is a real solid addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
