Colorado Avalanche sign Parenteau

Found July 01, 2012 on Sports-Glory:
PLAYERS: Paul Stastny,  Matt Duchene
TEAMS: Colorado Avalanche

The Colorado Avalanche have made the biggest finical deal in the first day of the free agent period by signing ex-Islanders forward P.A. Parenteau to a 4-year deal worth $16 million.

Parenteau, 29, has signed his first long-term deal with a franchise after signing six one-year deals over his career.  

Parenteau recorded 67 points and 89 penalty minutes in 80 games during the 2011-12 season.  He played alongside John Tavares in New York, which some say helped his stats but Colorado will offer Parenteau the same type of talent at center - Paul Stastny, Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly.

The only real dip into the unrestricted free agent market yesterday by the Toronto Maple Leafs was the signing of 3rd/4th line center Jay McClement.  Jay McClement’s best season in the NHL point wise was in 2009-10 when he had 11 goals and 29 points and last year he had 10 goals and 17 points for the Avalanche so clearly he wasn’t signed to produce offense.  The question is...
