PARENTEAU HARTFORD BOUND?

nyr According to a Twitter posting by Newsday’s Steve Zipay, P.A. Parenteau has been reassigned by the New York Rangers to the Hartford Wolf Pack. This move pretty much assures that Aaron Voros and Enver Lisin will make the team. Zipay also reports in another Twitter posting that “(Wade) Redden left practice with a sore back; (Sean) Avery is on crutches, (Marc) Staal has a sore groin so Bobby Sanguinetti is still (in New York)".

Parenteau must clear waivers in order to come to Hartford. However, given his low cost against the cap and high return potential, don’t be surprised if he is claimed by another team (if you listen closely you can hear Don Maloney dialing from Rangers West?) as there are any number of them out there looking for a player with scoring potential and that can play in all situations as Parenteau showed.

_____________*****UPDATE*****_______________

Andrew Gross has an update and spoke with Parenteau. Read it in Ranger Rants.

Should Parenteau make it to Hartford, we will attempt to get his thoughts as well.

  1. I am extremely disappointed that P.A. didn’t make the team. What really surprises me is Aaron Voros makes it in his place. I understand that he’s a “tough guy” but he doesn’t have the offensive/defensive skills P.A. has. With a team that’s looking for scoring & a drastically improved PP, P.A. would be the logical choice. Your thoughts?
    Also, what happened to Mike Ouellette?
