Claimed off Waivers: P.A. Parenteau (claimed by NJ)
- Thread starter caley
- Start date
I'd like the Oilers to put in a claim. But I'll actually be pretty stunned if it does happen. I think the Oilers have their heart set on starting Puljujarvi in the NHL even though he's not ready.
I would actually move Eberle down and reunite that line.
C'mon up to Edmonton, PA. If Tavares can turn you into a 67-point guy, McDavid will have you at PPG.
If anything, Chiarelli and McLellan are assuring us that they won't put young players in tough spots. Signing Russell and thus pushing down Davidson- who actually played very well in a top-4 role last season- is exhibit A of that strategy.
Something MacTavish and Tambellini never did...

Nah, they just better come to play. Isles roster is deep and I said to a friend last night that PAP looked lazy. That was my only comment on the players.

Ladd - Tavares - ???????
Lee - Nelson - Strome
Popular belief is that top RW will be filled by one of the kids (Barzal, Ho-Sang, Beauvillier). Unless there's a trade in the works
This is sort of weird in the sense the Islanders are extremely thin at RW. Other then Clutterbuck, they basically have Ho Sang on the farm and will have to move either a LW or Center to play RW. You think they would have kept PAP just as depth if they had no use for him on the first line
I'm shocked so many people want their teams to claim him...
stay away. Small, slow, poor defensively. Can he kill penalties?
He's not putting up 20 goals, and he only put up more assists with Tavares 5 years ago. There's a reason he can't stay with a team.

Yeah and most Leaf fans were hoping to get him back on the same type of deal he signed with the Isles.
I thought he acquitted himself very well last year

I wonder if Babs will go for him. Seemed like a great fit.
Maybe Pulk tho as he knows him from Red Wings and younger to fit in with youth movement

Last year was sort of magic in a bottle for him, he managed to stay healthy and was given top offensive minutes by default on a dead last team, and still only managed 41 points. Decent, but not great.
Trying to get those minutes when he's a year older and on a better team was always going to be an uphill battle, plus chances are he'd struggle to stay as healthy as he did last year. Not overly surprised to see him waived.

According to leafs fans, everyone. Best offensive player they've had in years.

Id wouldnt classify be saddled with Bozak and Matthias as "top offensive minutes". Was Leafs best 5x5 producer. 4 less points that Kadri (2nd on Leafs in overall scoring). 20 goals is his career average too

Difficult choice. One shoots and doesn't score
The other scores, and does little else.
