P.A. Parenteau: Calls it a career

For a guy who really didn't get his chance to shine until his later 20s, he put together a pretty damn fine career.

God speed, Pappy! Enjoy retirement!

Legend, now we'll never have to worry about where he signs next

 

[rent free]

He has a pretty decent career

 

[izzy]

considering how late he really made a name for himself he did pretty well

 

[pheasant]

Definition of "tweener." He was a perimeter player, and a depth scorer. Made himself a decent career out of it, with more than a little help from Tavares.

It's always a bit odd seeing someone retire when they had a few years overseas. To NHL fans that don't follow the KHL (and that's a lot of us on HF) it feels like he's already been retired.

 

[MMC]

One of the weirdest players I’ve ever seen.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Decent little niche career he had, there were a couple times throughout his career that I thought about wanting Pittsburgh to acquire him.

 

[BHD]

I'm glad he made it. Just so we have that goal call from Mark Moser.

He's played 8 games in the KHL.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Had some good seasons in Denver. One of the few guys who figured out how to play with Duchene.

3 games lol.

He hasn't been gone from the nhl that long either.

His last season was 57 games between the devils and nashville in 2016-17.

 

[A55P2]

I meant including the playoffs, but few games yes. He might have been there for about two months top ahah!

 

[jetsforever]

Decent career

 

[ManofSteel55]

Still better than a chunk of the forwards the Oilers iced last year I'd wager.

 

[DarkHorse2]

What if he had resigned with the Isles?

P... mother truckin A Parenteau

He hasn't been gone that long.

He was basically plan B for the Wings if AA bolted for the KHL last summer, but he lost out to David Booth and Martin Frk in camp...

 

[Ceremony]

One of about three players who made the 2013 season bearable, good luck to him.

 

[LeafsNation75]

What if he had resigned with the Isles?

He did sign as a UFA with the Islanders on July 3, 2016, however prior to the 2016-2017 season he was placed on waivers and claimed by the Devils.

Sorry, I meant the first tine he went UFA. If he had stayed JT's linemate.

What an odd career. Congrats.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Very weird career.
