Friedman: Predators Looking to Move Juuso Parssinen

[SoundAndFury]

trotz has about as much patience as he has neck

If at least his impatience was aimed at the right people with bloated contracts that are going to sink his team for the next 5 years at least.

I have never heard of this person

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

OK so after doing a little research I have questions.

25 points in 45 games his first year why are you giving that up?

42 points in 104 games why are you giving that up?

23 years old 6'3 212 why are you giving that up?

The 6'3 212 particularly stands out to me because we know that Treliving and Berube like size makes me wonder if they inquire

Now, this is obviously pure speculation, but if I had to guess the player is very unhappy with his opportunities and this is Preds trying to get trade talks in before it comes out it's actually Pärssinen wanting out. At least it's very plausible.

Get some more of those sweet sweet 2027 draft picks

adding to it, gets about 2 hits a game (28 in 15 games)

he isnt good at faceoffs though at 46.8% but that shouldnt be the reason to give him up

Same reason we gave up on Tomasino and Fabbro - Bruno and Trotz have no idea what they're doing.

 

[Djp]

They want the team average to be over 30 years and under 20 points.

AARP benefits kick in

 

[darth5]

agree with other Nashville reps here, Parsnip (as some call him) has a nose for the puck, he has hockey IQ as they say. Works hard, lacks confidence at this stage due to our team's poor talent mgmt.
I think he will stick for some team.

Pars is not a transition player. He has looked the best when he is able to cycle in the zone and use his body to maintain possession and use his IQ to create. He plays well behind the net and coming off the boards. His zone entries are meh and he looks a little lost trying to play this quick transition game. I just don't think the system is the right fit for him. His skating is ok, but he's not fast by any stretch of the imagination.

...which is why I suspect he might not be on Waddell's list of Guys We Can Save From That Sinking Ship, unfortunately. Still think he could be effective up here, tho.

 

[krutovsdonut]

trotz is gm-ing like the coach he is. loves his veterans and jettisons young players for mistakes.

 

[Merc29]

How does a juicy 3rd round pick sound?! Will even throw in Poulin

make it a 2029 and you got a damn deal!

This is a fair assessment and probably makes looking to move him a different scenario than, say, a player that should have fit the system better, like Tomasino (though I do think Parssinen can still be successful here). Though, again, we decided to sideline and drain any potential value out of him before finally moving on, which is really frustrating.

Interesting. Did he and Tomasino ever get playing time together and if so, how did they look?

Realistically, what might you want from the Penguins? We have 3 3rds this draft. I'd be fine giving a third. We can even send back a guy if you'd like.

God-damn, if it's only going to be a 3rd that comes back, I'm gonna step away for a bit. It's reaching unhealthy levels of how I feel about this organization's this year's decisions.

I mean, I think he's a comparable player to Drew O'Conner at the moment. I think DOC's value is right around a third.

 

[PAZ]

Would love him on the Avs. Easily would give a mid round pick or two for him.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Give Trotz a call, Stan..

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I like this player Parsinnen. He's like a 90s throwback scuffed Jagr/Forsberg

 

[glenngineer]

Pars and Svechkov have been in the lineup a little more lately due to injuries. Last night, ROR and Nyquist return to the lineup.

A team starved for goals should want as much talent in the lineup as possible. Instead of sitting guys like McCarron and Cole Smith, they scratch Pars and Svechkov. Svechkov has looked solid in his call up yet he gets the bench in place of guys who have no future with the team and aren't very good players.

Make it make sense.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Walker Duehr and a 4th for Parssinen seems like a Trotz move

 

[JPT]

Must be looking to get an aging vet

 

[Predigree]

Parsnip not tradet yet because Trotz want a 6th and the offer is a 3th.
