Ducks trade St.Jacques and Parenteau

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=189983&hubname=nhl

and receive Sabastien Caron, Matt Keith and Chris Durno

Knee jerk?

No, not knee jerk. We need a major-league caliber goaltender. Caron's a veteran, he knows the score. I have no idea who Matt Keith and Chris Durno are.

Wow, St. Jacques, that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time. What's he been up to?

TSN says Anaheim is receiving Parenteau and St. Jacques....I'm assuming that's backwards?

Well, Caron has NHL experience, although he hasn't done much of anything good with it, other than making the greatest save I have ever seen (http://youtube.com/watch?v=2Mqwrqnh4Ms).

Was Caron with the big club in Chicago? Does he have to clear any sort of waivers to play with the Ducks?

I am somewhat disappointed about losing Parenteau, but we needed a goalie.

GL to everyone involved! :)

Reading about this on Yahoo, it says that all the players were sent to the AHL. That could be until we send McKee back as we've only just called him up, or but I think he'll be called up soon.

Well, Caron has NHL experience, although he hasn't done much of anything good with it, other than making the greatest save I have ever seen (http://youtube.com/watch?v=2Mqwrqnh4Ms).

That's one hell of a save. Hopefully he's consistently good for the Ducks. Maybe Francois Allaire will help him out.

Parenteau and and whatshisnuts are the price for wasting Leighton.

Caron...with the current goalie issues for the Ducks I would have thought this was a signing for the big club. I didn't expect him to even detour to Portland on his was to CA. Now if this is a Portland signing I'm impressed that Burke will go that route...Caron is a proven player at the AHL level and the P's need goaltending!

IMO St J is the bigger loss then Parenteau but the P's have 3 O-man in Skinner, Wilson, and Salsa so he was expendable. And while Huskins is up they still have two decent guys in Kuiper and Saunders who can step in from the ECHL. As mush as I will miss St J's big hits and occasional nice rush he was expendable.

Parenteau...IMHO (and it won't be popular) he was grossly over rated and was not much more then an opportunistic floater. I don't think he is any great loss to the team or the organization. A harder working wing with decent skills along with Konopka would put just as many in the back of the net and might actually make it back to his zone once and a while.

The price doesn't seem that bad for a NHL capable goalie who apparently is mostly to keep the Pirates a top team. Burke must really value fostering a winning mentality throughout the organization, I like that philosophy.

Parenteau...IMHO (and it won't be popular) he was grossly over rated and was not much more then an opportunistic floater. I don't think he is any great loss to the team or the organization.

Agree completely. Joel Perrault was always the better prospect of the two, but you'd never know it from these boards.

Well, I just looked up all of the new player's stats:

http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=00050375 :Chris Durno

http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=45246 :Matt Keith

http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid%5B%5D=43915
:Sebastien Caron

It seems that Keith and Durno have had slow starts, but last season they both had pretty good seasons offensively. And Caron is a proven NHL player. I like it! :)

BTW, Durno is another undrafted player. :D Another player to add to the list! :)

I like this trade a lot. St. Jacques was pretty far down on the depth chart and he gets to go to Chicago where he may have a chance at cracking the lineup. From all the reports I've read, it does indeed seem that Parenteau is overrated.

Caron will be the starter for the Ducks while Bryz and Giguere are out. As previously mentioned, Allaire might be able to jumpstart his career. Matt Keith could step into a fourth line role in the NHL at this moment. I don't know much about this Durno kid, but from looking at his numbers and bio, he seems like a Brian Burke type-player (he's big, tough, and willing to go to the front of the net). Still, he's nothing more than an organizational depth player at this point.

Overall, I like this deal.

Well said everyone on both sides. Jeesh, I wish some people over at AllDucks.com could talk about trades and such like this. It's out of hand over there.

That's one hell of a save. Hopefully he's consistently good for the Ducks. Maybe Francois Allaire will help him out.
Crosby's reaction is fantastic.

The Ducks goaltending mess all started when Nashville claimed Leighton. We had to rush Bryzgalov back only to see him back on the IR. Now with Giguere out, Burke is scrambling to add depth.

The Ducks got Shawn Thornton and Travis Moen from the Blackhawks. I hope this trade turns out for us as well. I don't think we lost much giving up Parenteau and St. Jacques. I doubt either guys would ever make the BIG club.

Yeah, not the greatest circumstances leading up to this, but overall I think this is a great trade. We lose a decent prospect who may be a little overated and a d-man who was pretty deep on our organizational depth chart and get a NHL tested goalie and two big forwards that may better fit the new look Ducks organization.

I really hope Caron can learn a lot from Allaire. Just from that one save alone, you can tell the kid has a lot of athleticism, maybe he just needs someone to work on his fundamentals and get him in the right frame of mind.

Does Caron need to pass through waivers in order to get call up?

If he was sent to Portland after the trade I am pretty sure he would..

Well, Caron has NHL experience, although he hasn't done much of anything good with it, other than making the greatest save I have ever seen (http://youtube.com/watch?v=2Mqwrqnh4Ms).

That save left me speechless. I'd have signed him just by watching that video, but then again that's why I am not a GM. If this deal is purely an AHL deal, then I think Burke is taking a wild route here.

Good luck to Jacques and Parenteau.

Looks like Durno is a bit of an enforcer. We certainly won't be short on toughness, that's for sure.

As for Caron, we needed a goalie, and Caron should do just fine. I hope.

I was expecting Caron to head to Anaheim but I really have my doubts now....He's expected to be in Portland's line up tomorrow.

Vokoun is scheduled to be back in the Nashville lineup early next week barring any setbacks...so Leighton should be going on waivers anytime now. Just an FYI.

Personally, I think Caron is an NHL caliber backup goalie who can fill in as the starter for short stretches, but should not be counted upon to lead a team long-term. Allaire will help him out no doubt and he should feel comfortable due to his NHL experience over the past few seasons.

Durno played in Milwaukee (Nashville's AHL team) last season and IIRC he was a major contributor to their playoff run to the finals. He was centering the second line I believe and I remember hearing his name on the radio broadcasts taking draws late in games when the Admirals were up by a goal trying to hang onto the lead.

Why would Burke make this trade if Caron isn't going to play in Anaheim?

You think Anaheim is the only team he is trying to help???

Burke believes in a solid organization from top to bottom.....so he was looking to make changes with the Pirates and provide a little goaltending depth.....

If Anaheim (The Organization) is strong then Anaheim (The Team) will be even stronger.

Caron could still be in Anaheim, but I think we could see Leighton back as soon as Monday and he would be the starter in Anaheim for now. Speculation - yes, but the Ducks are really looking to build some depth and who knows a deal could be made in a month and Caron could be needed with the Ducks.

but the top club is in need of a starting goaltender NOW. Unless they are taking the "we have built up a lot of points so we can afford to lose some" route. Caron would fiLL the immediate need, and he is going to POrtland?

Does Caron need to pass through waivers in order to get call up?
Yeah, sure, ya betcha!

FYI, Durno's not been playing in Norfolk at all from reading their boards-----think Chistov revisited .

All I'll say is Bruke and company went into panic mode yet again!!! With Leighton coming back to us by the end of next week,at the latest, trading Portland's top score, Parenteau, was a dumb move. Portland will be at a big loss without him. A word to the Admirals fans please wsupport the guys. They are calready missed in POrtland!!!!:cry:

What is with this fascination of Leighton coming back to Anaheim---if Burke claims Leighton DOESN'T report to Portland and now apparently due to that boneheaded move, Pierre and Bruno are not dealt for Durno, Keith & Caron, now Caron leaves at 5:30 AM Friday, FROM Norfolk arrives by 10:45 AM to the practice rink; plays last night vs. Springfield and now is on his way to Minnesota to join the Ducks while WHO plays tonight in Worcester and tomorrow vs. Hartford which means Caron is stuck in Anaheim and cannot be assigned back here to Portland despite what Ducks fans were led to believe that Caron is subject to the same rule that cost Burke Leighton in the 1st place why release a statement all 3 report to Portland wouldn't be easier to put Keith and Durno on the plane to Portland while telling Caron to report to Anaheim directly for the game vs. Carolina.

as for Pierre and Bruno, there's no worries judging that Norfolk fans based on last night, they've adjusted as has Durno & Keith did last night here.

hey mister jerky------how do you evaluated a talent sit behind a screen.
Parenteau have been the Ducks propriety for 4 to 5 years with 3 differents GM
and same for coaches. They never let him play a game , even an exhibition with the big team.Carlysle didn't want see Parenteau at the camp..The game was make before that camp my friend and Shannon has the priority what ever happened.
Parenteau was not the Macnab boy (college) and I just hope mister the moderator that Parenteau will feel you regret that move . and Parenteau will be with the Hawks shortly.......Hope that you will have the guts to publie this comment.

Mister Jerky is my father's name. You can just call me Jerky.

i don't care about your name , I care about your comments and the previlege that you have to mention comments on players you didn't see played.
Please comment and give us an honest opinion the way that Ducks have treat Parenteau.that's it

I know your question isn't directed at me but I'll give you my opinion.

I've seen Parenteau play at the Junior, Rookie Tournament, and AHL levels...and I never once was convinced that he had an NHL future ahead of him.

He was a very talented Junior player, but he is not good enough at any one thing to make him stand out. He is undersized but he does not have Ryan Shannon's speed, he is good with the puck but he does not have Stan Chistov's stick handling ability, he is a good shooter but he does not have a wrister like Joffrey Lupul or a slap shot like Ryan Getzlaf, he is a good playmaker but he does not send amazing passes to his linemates like Andy McDonald. So he does not stand out at any one thing offensively and then he is not a very good defensive forward nor is he a physical forward. So what does he bring to the table that will make the Ducks regret trading him?

Look the other moderator from california mentionning that he have seen Parenteau
played in the AHL . Yeah , from CA..I believed you.
The rookie tournament was before the lockout , 3 years ago , can you imagine that he progress during that time .
And yours comparaisons with others are awful because you took only one feature by each player it's not fair at all . You were never able to see his progress from california because he's never be invited to the party.
And the stickhandling of Chistov is just a one shot , I saw him played with Bruins and believe me , he's not there for a long run.B.B. have always regret when he bring him back from russia. he tought that he can get more then a 5 round pick.
And honestly I don't think he gone have a long shot in the show.

Shannon (college-macnab) got speed , I am agree , did he have the size?
No and he had his chance on the recommendation to Carlysle from mister MAcnab from the Mighy ducks of Brian Murray and just take a look of his stats two or three year from now and we could discuss at that moment. He's the perfect copy of Russ Courtnall if you are old enough to remember him , lot of movements on the rink with no final touch.will see. With what he bring to the table , we gone have a quick lunch my friend.

Comparaison with Getzlaf and Mac are not fair either because they are establish players since a while.

The only bad luck that Parenteau have had , was to being draft by this organisation before Burke (got respect for him) ...Lots of peoples pass there and you saw the results , bye bye DUCKIES ...Hope that Buffalo will go over you
during the playoff. Joel Perreault-St-Jacques-Parenteau sounds from same origin what you think?. Thrue the years , you never had a positive word on him . Anyway he should have a break with Hawks. And go to ask Dineen if he will regret Parenteau for the next three months .

And I am sure that you think that Konopka is a more skills player.Good for you

Second my reply was for Jerky not you.-
Third.....macdonald 19 , I know that I could not see your face one of this day
and tell you what I think face to face. BYE BYE DUCKIES.

Man... what?

That's the third post in a row from you that manages to be both incomprehensible (in both diction and message) and leads me to believe you are either Parenteau or his father.

Guess we're not going to win the Cup this year because we made this trade. :dunno:

mrichard's first language obviously isn't English, so you should excuse him if his message isn't as easy to understand as it tries to be.

Without speculating on who he is or what his relationship with Parenteau is, I think it is clear that he is taking issue with some of the comments made that point to Parenteau as being "no big loss", and "never going to play in the NHL."

Parenteau has gone through quite a bit during his time with the Ducks, and one can imagine it has been a bit of a frustrating road for him. Some of this frustration can even be seen in some of the interviews that he has done. He's still young and I think it's far too early to write him out.

Due to the Ducks depth up front and the specific style of game that Parenteau plays, it would have been difficult for him to ever break into the league with the Ducks, at least in the forseeable future. I think that may have helped motivate the trade, where he now finds himself in a new situation and potentially an easier lineup to crack.

You only need to look as far as Joel Perrault to see what a change of scenary can do. Sure, Perrault is still finding his stride, but he has been solid enough to stick around in a semi-regular role in the NHL. Parenteau probably wants a similar shot, and who can blame him. This trade facilitates that desire.

I don't think there's much reason to slag on Parenteau, nor do I think there was ever a giant conspiracy against him (or French Canadians in general) to keep him out of Anaheim's lineup. Simply a number of unfortunate events that brought things to where they are now. Parenteau gets a new shot with a new team, St. Jacques gets a chance to get back in the NHL, Anaheim gets a goaltender and some fringe grinders.

With my writing, I often am contacted by family and friends of the young players I cover. Sometimes they disagree with what I say and sometimes they really disagree with what I say. So while it often doesn't change my opinion, it does hammer home the knowledge that I am writing about real people with families who support them behind them. I always try to be accurate and honest, but not cruel or false, trying to give an even-handed objective opinion of the prospects I cover.

No one likes to see their name, or the names of those close to them besmirched and trivialized. On Hockey's Future and HFBoards, I would say the likelihood is very high that some people who read are closely associated to the prospects. Hell, if you google most of them, the first thing that comes up is their HF profile. Obviously, the responsibility of regular posters is unchanged, as they can't be expected to be considerate to all. But a small suggestion to the moderating staff is to at least be aware that eyes more priveleged then your own are reading and act accordingly.

There is never any need to slag a player for no good reason, nor do throwaway comments ever add productive content to any conversation.

I don't think we lost much giving up Parenteau and St. Jacques. I doubt either guys would ever make the BIG club.

I am still trying to figure out how my single comment turned out to be a treatise on glass ceilings for french canadian players in the NHL. I guess I got a lot of bang for my buck.

The only bad luck that Parenteau have had , was to being draft by this organisation before Burke (got respect for him) ...Lots of peoples pass there and you saw the results , bye bye DUCKIES ...Hope that Buffalo will go over you
during the playoff. Joel Perreault-St-Jacques-Parenteau sounds from same origin what you think?. Thrue the years , you never had a positive word on him . Anyway he should have a break with Hawks. And go to ask Dineen if he will regret Parenteau for the next three months .

Parenteau and Perreault were drafted by Pierre Gauther. Since Parenteau was one of the first players cut this training camp, he didn't figure much in Brian Burke's grand scheme of things. If you are a fan of Parenteau, you should be happy that Parenteau is going to a new organization and will get a new chance. If he continues to excel, he might find a spot with Denis Savard's team.

Hey Joe Canada
Am not Parenteau and not his father either...

I just following the Parenteau and Perreault career sincetheir year in junior .that's it. And let me tell you that Anaheim treated them with no consideration ...
I heard from peoples from Portland that was not the case this year , good for them.
But final words , The facts was that before B.B. this team didn't have direct line
for their players , no system and it's the proof that the players career is directly
rely to the peoples you met. sorry for the orthograph.
Bye Bye

sorry for the orthograph.
Bye Bye

No need to apologize, I understand English isn't your first language. And believe me, I know what it's like to be a fan of a player and to feel like a team "gives up" on them, but you have to let it go. If you're a Parenteau fan, be happy for him to have a better chance at getting NHL ice-time now.

You only need to look as far as Joel Perrault to see what a change of scenary can do. Sure, Perrault is still finding his stride, but he has been solid enough to stick around in a semi-regular role in the NHL. Parenteau probably wants a similar shot, and who can blame him.

Perrault has the size to be useful to a team like St. Louis as a checker. Parenteau is never going to be a checker in the NHL and he does not have the high end skill to play as a top 6 in the NHL.

I've seen enough of Parenteau to make my opinion. I've seen video of him in the Q and the World Juniors. I've seen him in person in the Rookie Tournament and as a Cincinnati Duck. He has slowly improved enough where he can be a legit top 6 AHLer but he has a long ways to go to make the jump to the NHL.

And I am sure that you think that Konopka is a more skills player.Good for you

Second my reply was for Jerky not you.-
Third.....macdonald 19 , I know that I could not see your face one of this day

Parenteau has more natural talent than Konopka. Konopka makes better use of the talent he was given and has more desire and determination to do anything it takes to win.

If you wanted to speak to only Jerky there is a private message option. As I clearly stated in my post, I knew you weren't talking to me but I chose to give my opinion.

Then how come I'm reading great things thus far from Pierre in Norfolk since he wasn't informed of the trade like the rest of us, MacDonald----

No one in Portland knew anything about Pierre until the Ducks came here and for those who never saw him in Cincinnati shouldn't we now be the ones defending Ducks prospects here:confused:

I absolutely agree....especially about friend's and family of players.

As for P.A.

I think he was a good player and deserved a chance in the NHL. He played well in Portland. Was he overrated? Maybe a little, but I am one to believe that he made the best of his situation and took advantage of his opportunity in Portland.

He did what he was asked to do by Anaheim and added weight and he did his far share of hitting....to judge him in Cincinnati or Jrs to now isn't fair. I've seen him grow and develop into a player who close to the NHL. Making it is a different story

Not much more I can.....Kevin pretty much said it all.

You are entitled to your own opinions. My post was directed more towards the moderating staff and was more an observation than a direction. I thought it was something they should be aware of and that such knowledge might make their jobs as moderators a little easier.

In retro-spect, I should have carried this observation out via PM and so I apologize.

LoL what?:biglaugh: :dunno:

Lets get back to topic...
