He has been out of the lineup for two weeks but seems good to go. The Cats re-assigned Colby Roback and Michael Caruso to San Antonio of the AHL to make room on the roster to activate Parros. If you need an injection of PIMs, activating Parros wouldn't be the worst idea.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Parros collected five PIM from that game, but he also had a goal , a +2 rating, two shots and one hit. Don't expect steady performance from the man with the great 'stache, but if you placed him the lineup to try to eke out a PIM win, you must be happy.

George Parros is ready to help the Panthers by creating a little more room for slightly-built finesse forwards Stephen Weiss and Jonathan Huberdeau.

Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

Impact

Parros, will assume the role of the Cats' enforcer and should be a good add for those in pools that value penalty minutes. Of his role with the Panthers, Parros had this to say, "We've got a lot of young talent here for sure, so hopefully I could give them some space maybe and try to chip in myself and play solid, reliable hockey.''
