Forward PA Parenteau was traded to the Nashville Predators by the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday for a sixth-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.
"We were just looking for some depth on our top nine forwards, little bit of competition for our offensive guys," Nashville general manager David Poile told the Predators website. "This is a real good add, a guy that has pretty good stats this year, 13 goals already, and certainly can jump into our top three lines and give us a little bit of an offensive boost. He's also really good at shootouts, which I suspect we'll have a few more of those before the year is over. It just feels like a really good add to our hockey club to make us a little bit deeper than we were before we made the trade."
