Much has been made of New York Islanders GM Garth Snow’s offseason. Even though he lost Frans Nielsen and Kyle Okposo he made a signing that should have help fill that scoring void. And that appears to have been the signing of P.A. Parenteau. Unfortunately, Snow made the decision to waive him before the regular season started.
Parenteau has 12 goals and 7 assists for 19 points on the year for the New Jersey Devils who claimed him off waivers. The other offseason acquisitions of Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera have produced 12 and 16 points respectively.
