Parenteau Now Getting Love From Madden KD Pomp!

[Fire0nice228]

Guess Bunkerman and the rest of PA's blood relatives can now go troll Avalanche boards.

If the Penguins don't sign Parise or Suter you will be crying that the Pens didn't sign Parenteau. With out signing a big free agent the Staal trade is a disaster. Take the yinzer glasses off and look at it objectively.

PAP is not and never will be a big free agent. Just another mediocre player whose can be easily replaced.

it's a bit of apples an oranges, but it's funny that Neal's only making 1 mill more than this guy next year

Please tell me how getting an 8th overall pick, NHL-caliber player and highly-rated defense prospect for a player who did not plan to be here past this season is a disaster.

Staal was going to walk. Now he can enjoy his millions, playing with his brother and facing number one defense pairings a year earlier, and at least the Penguins got something quality in return.

I fail to see how signing PAP to an inflated contract makes that trade a bigger win.

And that cleared up what, just 2 million extra anyways?

Maybe you can call the Michalek trade a disaster as that was a clear case of dumping salary, but that's even a stretch, imo.

I think the point is that Sutter is NOT an upgrade over Staal, which I don't think anyone would argue, so we should expect to upgrade the top 2 lines at the expense of Staal.
