The New York Islanders formally announced that PA Parenteau will be placed on waivers today. It doesn’t mean he’s gone, it just means the Islanders don’t want/need him on the active roster.
Just think about that for a second. PA Parenteau was signed in free agency for a cap-friendly $1.25 million. It was also widely believed that he was going to slot alongside former teammate John Tavares on the top line.
Most of here at Eyes on Isles thought Parenteau would slide into that top line right-wing position.
But now the Islanders don’t want or even need him on the roster at all.
