brelic Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 28s MTL acquires P.A Parenteau from COL. I believe Daniel Briere is headed to COL in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarsippius Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I wonder if the MTL fans will go back to jeering him every time he touches the puck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Amazing how he can go to Germany, Montreal and now Colorado, but he couldn't waive that NTC because of his kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 How on God's green earth is this even a *remotely* even trade??? Briere is useless in the regular season...and P.A is still a very good forward. There must be some behind the scenes stuff here. Even if P.A was the worst teammate ever, this is like Kordic for Courtnall all over again.....puzzling to say the least. There has to more going the Ave's way?!?!

Not sure, but I do know some personal details first hand that would make this trade logical. It's not my place to divulge it, but that might be why on the surface, it doesn't look like a very good hockey trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @brelic Is it just something that you don't want to post publically, or not tell at all? PM me if you can tell someone in a non public setting, cause this makes no sense at all to me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 He was sleeping with Brindy's wife. But yeah, strange trade on its face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @AJgoal Isn't Brindy an assistant with the Canes now? How does this have anything to do with the trade? I'm more puzzled now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @jammer2 - it's just a reference to the rumor about Brindy and Lindros having issues. Nothing serious to do with the trade. I forgot the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Parenteau was not Roy's kind of player. What that means, exactly I'm unsure. Briere and Therien didn't get along at all. The backroom drama there was palpable according to a couple different radio shows today. So, if they lose Statsny--which is probable--the Avs get a down lineup center who can move to wing when needed and bring some veteran leadership. Parenteau is a good fit for Montreal, I think, so probably no explanation needed. Two guys who really needed a change of teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @ruxpin The uneven part is the age, PA is 31 and Danny is 36....but the stats were equally unimpressive, so not quite as lopsided as I thought once I looked up the stats for both. think it was 33 pts to 25 with both missing time due to injury.

ruxpin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @jammer2 Yeah, it's really two marginal role players (at this point) who didn't have a role. Maybe they're each slightly better fits now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i don't understand this either they needed another center but this puts them very,very thin at RW unless they have a plan like bringing back Roy and Sakic's old teammate back Radim Vrbata which i would understand.

ruxpin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @jammer2 http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/josh-gorges-nixes-toronto-trade--but-could-canadiens-pressure-him-170902165.html Apparently, the Habs and the Leafs had a deal in place to trade Gorges to Toronto. The common wisdom is that it was for a position player, but I don't think it's been reported who it is. Anyway, Gorges wouldn't waive his no-trade and is really pretty upset about it and is talking to any media outlet willing to put a microphone in front of him. He initially had a list of either 15 teams he would not go to or would go to (not sure which) and Toronto -- and no Canadian team, for that matter -- was not among the acceptable teams. He's since increased his "I'll think about it list" to include some Canadian teams but Toronto is still not among them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh is a solid 3rd pairing type, not great at any one thing, but decent at everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So, if they lose Statsny--which is probable--the Avs get a down lineup center who can move to wing when needed and bring some veteran leadership.Parenteau is a good fit for Montreal, I think, so probably no explanation needed.Two guys who really needed a change of teams Agree with everything. I would also add that Briere has only one year left on his contract and the money between him and PA cap wise is a wash. PA has two years left.

Vanflyer Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I thought once I looked up the stats for both. think it was 33 pts to 25 with both missing time due to injury. I looked at the same thing. Also, PA was getting 16 min a night while Briere was getting 12. Take that for whats its worth. I think its a stop gap / greener pastures type of thing. Next summer, Colorado will have 4m more in cap availability and not have to deal with whatever the problem was with PA in colorado. Also, Briere is clutch in the playoffs. Something colorado could have used in the last 2-3 games when Minny shut down colorados top line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
