Devils' Parenteau throws out kids' Islanders jerseys

P.A. Parenteau isn't dwelling on what could have been.

After being claimed on waivers Tuesday by the New Jersey Devils, the former New York Islanders winger was quick to cut ties with the Brooklyn club, telling Devils broadcaster Sherry Ross that he tossed the two Islanders jerseys he bought for his children in the trash.

P-A Parenteau said he needs to buy #NJDevils jerseys for his 2 kids: "I just bought some Long Island jerseys. I threw them in the garbage."

Parenteau signed with the Islanders this offseason with the expectation that he'd line up with former teammate John Tavares. He previously spent two years with the Islanders, most recently in 2011-12, when he posted a career-high 67 points.

The 33-year-old played with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, recording 41 points in 77 games.
