The New Jersey Devils have picked up a competent NHL scorer on waivers, adding PA Parenteau from the New York Islanders.
Parenteau hit the 20-goal and 40-point plateaus last season as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Should he post similar numbers with the Devils, he'll be a bargain on the $1.25-million salary he earned from the Isles this offseason.
The emergence of first-rounders Mathew Barzal and Anthony Beauvillier likely factored in Garth Snow's decision to cut him loose, but it should be noted that Arthur Staple of Newsday wrote that Parenteau disappointed in camp with a chance to play on John Tavares' wing.
