Parenteau Signs One-Year Extension With Islanders

[Thrillhouse]

The New York Islanders announced today that right wing PA Parenteau has agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension.

Parenteau, 27, is currently tied for second place on the Islanders in points with 35 (14 goals, 21 assists) through 56 games this season. Prior to signing with the Islanders as a free agent on July 2, 2010, the Hull, QC native had only played in 27 career National Hockey League games.

“I’m really excited to stay on Long Island,” said Parenteau. “The Islanders organization has given me the chance to prove that I belong in the NHL and I look forward to being a part of the success that is building in our dressing room for the near future.”

Originally selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the ninth round, 264th overall, of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Parenteau completed a four-year junior hockey career in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in 2003. He played his first professional season in 2003-04 with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks of the American Hockey League (AHL). Prior to joining the Islanders, the eight-year veteran had played in five NHL games with the Chicago Blackhawks and in 22 with the New York Rangers. Parenteau’s AHL resume includes stints with Cincinnati, the Portland Pirates, the Norfolk Admirals and the Hartford Wolf Pack. Parenteau scored 166 goals and 237 assists for 403 points in 450 career AHL games.

Clear indication that a powerplay specialist is Snow's answer on the first line.
A guy who produces on the powerplay but stinks 5 on 5.
35 points and a minus 11.

God forbid they waited until the summer, this guy could have been signed as insurance then.
This is merely a sign that next year's lineup will resemble this years.

2012 draft, here we come.

Anyone curious what Tavares' production would be if you gave him a real linemate instead of this asshole? Seriously, why even pretend to be trying to improve the team you can just bring back mediocre parts and keep treading water as an a franchise?
