He deserves this contract. Capuano aint the coach Babs is, but i still see PA hitting the teens in goals

Very nice deal for the Islanders. He had a good bounce back year after getting bought out, and now he is returning to the team where he had a fair bit of success.

Chimera is 37 and only has had two 20 goal season in his NHL career and he won't be playing on the same type of team in Brooklyn like he did in DC this past season. All up to Parenteau and Ladd to make up for what the NYI lost.

Cheap option to make up for some of the scoring lost with Okposo/Nielsen leaving. Parenteau's point totals should go up playing on a powerplay that knows how to finish.

Good solid move. No risk at all really and Parenteau back with the Isles just feels like something that should happen.

That depends whether you actually think Lucic will play on his wing. I don't think they fit together, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Great signing by the Islanders. Parenteau is one of the more underrated players in the league IMO.
Solid possession stats and can finish. Give him Okposo's old spot on Tavares' RW, some top PP minutes and I could see him putting up career highs in goals/points.
It's getting harder not to adopt the Isles as a second team with all their former Leafs.

I don't think it's too far-fetched to think that Chimera could bring more offense than what Martin did. Chimera's two most common linemates last season were Wilson and Beagle. Those two players weren't nearly as good as Cizikas was this past season.

Okay let's completely discount Chimera's production because you say so
Not at all. Ladd is around to stay, but PAP is signed for one year and Chimera will get bottom 6 duties for 2. Barzal, Dal Colle, Ho-Sang, then Beau, and eventually Bellows are all hungry for NHL minutes. Maybe if the Rangers had a stocked cabinet like the Islanders, you'd understand the importance of preparing your bluechip prospects for spots in the organization

Last time he played with Tavares (2011-2012) he outscored P. Kane, Ovie, Kunitz, Pacioretty, Bergeron, Lucic.

Basically lines one and four are set for the start of the season, barring a sweetheart trade that brings a top six winger to NYI.
Parenteau will get a chance to secure that top line RW position over the first 40 games, I'd think. It's a not a guarantee he'll lineup there all 82 games.

Then to me........that's an absolute AWESOME signing ! PA at the very least should be able to recoup some of those points playing with, Tavares . Capuano would be stupid not to play Tavares, & PA together at least some of the time .

Just an FYI....capuano IS stupid. Somehow he gets back to back 100pt seasons despite it.

Wasn't one of the main issues with the Islanders last season the lack of consistent secondary scoring? A common complaint that I heard from Isles fans was that Snow relied on the youngsters (Nelson, Lee, Strome) to be that consistent scoring threat, but all three struggled to some extent.
Obviously it's early in the summer and there are deals out there to fix this, but I still think that middle six (Lines 2 and 3) aren't where they need to be in order for the Isles to improve on last season. The Tavares line is fine, and the Cizikas line is very good. But I'm not seeing the middle six that can compete with the best teams in the East.
