P. A. Parenteau has accepted an offer to attend Red Wings training camp on a PTO (paid try-out) basis.
Forward PA Parenteau has accepted a PTO from the Detroit Red Wings. He's averaged 17 goals per season over the last 2 years.

This is a lot different than the PTO extended to David Booth. Booth has little to no chance of making the Red Wings. But Parenteau could.
In 59 games for the New Jersey Devils last season, he had 13 goals and 14 assists.
