Winger- P.A. Parenteau (8 games, 0 goals, 1 assist ,1 point)
Not an illustrious Predators career by any means, P.A. Parenteau joined the Predators for just 8 games in 2017, a late addition for the playoff run.
Unfortunately, Parenteau didn’t have much gas left in his NHL tank. Just one assist in regular season action, and he only played in five games during the Predators’ Stanley Cup Finals run, averaging under 10 minutes of ice time.
Post Preds, he was gracing the lineup for the KHL team Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg after failing to latch on with the Detroit Red Wings after a PTO offer. His career as a whole was pretty good. In his 491 NHL games, he scored 114 goals, and 182 assists for 296 points, most of which came with the Islanders. He was a decent gun for hire with Colorado, Montreal, New Jersey, and Toronto but not Nashville.
The interesting thing about Parenteau is how much time he had to put in the AHL before making it to the NHL. He spent 450 games down in the AHL, totaling up 403 points. He spent an entire career’s worth of games scoring at a pretty serious clip before being promoted.
