Seth Griffith is another to consider.

Maybe they didn't want to waste a claim on him knowing there were better guys to come?

The only way i'm prepared to sign Parenteau is if he goes by his actual name and not "P. A."

I don't know why that bugs me so much.

All that aside, the guy seems to be a Flame killer and put up points against us all the time. Not my first choice but there are worse options out there for RW on the top line.

I'd be shocked if he made it to us at #5

Oilers or Leafs claim him for sure.

What are your feelings about T(Thomas)J(James) Brodie??

Shocked to see Pavelec on there, how could they not trade him in the summer and retain salary ?

To which team ? He isn't exactly a high quality tender, and most teams had their tandems set. I don't think moving him was possible.

It's so weird, I thought Pulkkinen earned a roster spot. Who outside of TOR, CBJ, VAN, EDM need a RW like we do?

iloveicedhockey · 10-10-2016, 11:02 AM

Jeez, I'd take Seth Griffith and Pulk in a heartbeat. Very doubtful we get either though. Canucks or oil get them.

Gaudreauvertime · 10-10-2016, 11:04 AM

I think Parenteau would honestly be our best option at #1RW slot. He's got a lot in common with Hudler - high IQ, good playmakers who aren't great skaters and don't do too much beyond providing some offense.

I think he'd be the best fit with Johnny and Monahan

Flames Draft Watcher · 10-10-2016, 11:05 AM

Parenteau may just be done. He's failed in his last couple stops and now cut from the Isles.
Doubt he'd be an upgrade for us. Rather take the chance on Ferland or Pulkinen

savemedrzaius · 10-10-2016, 11:09 AM

PA on waivers? Last year he was one of the better players on the Leafs (I know that isn't saying much) and his attitude was great. I don't get that at all.

For his cap hit someone has gotta pick him off waivers.

Did he fail last year with the Leafs? Honest question. Seemed to be a good player for them.

That is a good question. I suspect i'm substantially biased to overlooking faults with Flames players I like.

But that does not extend to opposing players who routinely have big games against us, such as Mr. Peeeaaa

White Out 403 · 10-10-2016, 11:12 AM

My long suffering nightmare as a Jets fan is over. Pavelec is gone!

Yaaaaaahoooooo!!

He was great. One of the few brights spots. Really flourished under Babcock and played a decent defensive game too. Seemed to be good with the younger players too. I think he would fit in well with the Flames actually.

The only thing I can think of is maybe he put on a lot of weight ever the summer or something because I don't get why the Islanders would sign him and then drop him before the season even starts.

AC · 10-10-2016, 11:21 AM

To play devil's advocate:

‏@realPOSULLIVAN
Pulkkinen can't skate well enough at the NHL level to use his shot. AHL goals don't mean much trust me on that one.

Honest question, if he did so well, why did the leafs try to trade him at the deadline and then no one bit and he was let go for free? And then a year later put on waivers even with a very friendly cap hit?

Like I said earlier, he reminds me a lot of Glencross where he will score some goals and then go missing in 5 game stretches.

Not quite. You're still a Jets fan.
