MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted July 30, 2008 WILD WAIVE PARRISH WITH 3 YEARS REMAINING ON CONTRACT ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Wild have waived veteran forward Mark Parrish with three years left on his contract. Minnesota general manager Doug Risebrough says Parrish was simply a victim of the NHL's salary cap. He was paid US$2.5 million last season and would have cost the team a salary cap hit of $2.65 million this season, bringing the Wild about $2.1 million short of the cap. Parrish scored 35 goals in two seasons with Minnesota, including just 16 in 66 games this past season. If he isn't claimed off waivers Wednesday, the Wild will likely buy out the rest of his contract for two-thirds of his salary. If he's picked up on waivers, his new team would take over his salary and the total cap hit. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=244823&...os=secStory_nhl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted July 30, 2008 and yet people still think Minn. will make the playoffs, sorry but the whole NW is overrated a bunch of good teams at the same level, none really will compete for a Cup until maybe a few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akustyk 84 Report post Posted July 30, 2008 I don't really get the logic of this. sure Parrish was underperforming a lot since he left Panthers good number of years ago but getting rid of him and pay so much of his bill and making the team even weaker in scoring. that simply makes no sense to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HenryMalredo 2 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 Minnesota rarely seems to spend money on players, yet, If I remember correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong) they bring in the fans. If, so, I bet the Wild is one of the more profitable NHL teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted July 31, 2008 He had a lot of potential with the Isles. He'd make a great 2nd liner for a less-than-average team, or, a 3rd/4th liner on an elite team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 Can see Gaborik wanting out.. Hes pretty much wanted out since he got there. The only reason he re-signed with them in the first place was because they brought in Demitra, who was/is one of Gabby's best friends. And can you blame the guy? Hes one of, if not the most explosive skater in the NHL yet hes being suffocated by playing in a boring, tight defensive system with no notable guys to center him.

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) wow Minnesota has gotten a lot done this off season Carney - Gone Demitra - Gone Parrish - about to leave. Carney was a shadow. They're better off without him. They did add Zidlicky and Brunette. With how injury prone Demitra was, Brunette might be able to compensate for the offense lost by Demitra's departure. But then theres the loss of Rolston and now Parrish. The Minnesota organization as a whole disgusts me. They have one of the most dedicated fan bases in the entire league yet they seem completely satisfied with mediocrity and shallow playoff appearances. How long before this team decides to make a strong push instead of wallowing amongst the average? Edited July 31, 2008 by YoungGuns1340 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
