#2310292 Parise Likely Out. Next Options

Posted by Dabura on 27 June 2012 - 12:33 AM

As for Parise - I don't see how anything's changed.

- That guy's not the first to say Parise could command as much as 10 mill.
- Could =/= Will, or even necessarily Likely will
- Of course Parise's gonna say "we/us"

#2309667 Pens Targeting Suter and Parise

Posted by Dabura on 25 June 2012 - 09:45 AM

Some people here are seriously undervaluing Parise. The guy's a stud, a workhorse. Semin is one of the laziest players I have ever seen, and Brunner - Brunner? Seriously?

As for the topic at hand - I don't see the Pens getting either of them, honestly. But I've been wrong before....

#2309662 Zach Parise

Posted by Dabura on 25 June 2012 - 09:37 AM

How do you figure? I'm extremely discouraged by this cap clearing stuff Pittsburgh is up to. Datsyuk and Zetterberg will be 34 and 32 this season. Crosby and Malkin will be 25 and 26 are a better pair of players comparing them as pairs. Crosby and Parise are friends, from his perspective it seems like a no brainer considering the length of time you're virtually guaranteed to be a contender.

Well, for starters, the Pens don't have their s*** together. They had a complete and utter meltdown against the Flyers. They were dismantled, exposed. They were obliterated. So now they're gonna run out and get 2-3 defensively sound superstars to fix their problems - instead of what they should do, which is learn to play some f****** defense (and tell MAF his job is on the line this season). Parise would be the new J. Staal - the third-fiddle workhorse who allows the offensive magic to happen in the regular season without Cwosby and Mawkin having to play any defense.

Crosby and Malkin may be the two biggest names in the league - but I like to think Parise's a little smarter than that.

#2309489 Zach Parise

Posted by Dabura on 24 June 2012 - 01:03 PM

I keep seeing articles popping up about how Pittsburg is now in the race for both Suter and Parise since they are clearing cap space to make some moves... if they get one or both of these guys and Holland doesn't get either omg I'm gunna have to lock my self away for a few weeks and forget about this summer ever happened.

Suter doesn't want to play in the East (or so we've all been led to believe). Parise, he may very well sign with the Pens - but I highly doubt it. I think we have a better shot at landing him.

But yeah, if the Pens get either and we get neither...riots in the streets.

#2308248 Why Evander Kane is Worth the Price

Posted by Dabura on 20 June 2012 - 11:57 AM

-1 for saying I doubt Kane is higher than Parise on Holland's priority list (if indeed Kane's on it at all), and that I like the idea of Blake Wheeler coming aboard?

#2307656 Why Evander Kane is Worth the Price

Posted by Dabura on 16 June 2012 - 05:51 PM

Just watch out, because he might be Holland's target over Parise. It is possible.

Not because he thinks it Kane is better than Parise, just that it might be more manageable to get him.

I doubt it.

Still like the idea of Wheeler.

#2307544 Nashville to trade Suter's rights?

Posted by Dabura on 15 June 2012 - 02:43 PM

Suter
Parise
Garrison
Gaustad
(Harding?)

I'm guessing this is roundabout Kenny's best-case wishlist, in approximate order.

I think Suter is a near-lock to come here. Parise, not so much - but not so far from it, really. The big difference, I feel (and, granted, I could be way off-base here), is that Suter wants out of Nashville, whereas Parise is perhaps not quite so keen on leaving NJ. If he can pry himself away from the Devils, I think he's ours.

Now, watch them both go to Minnesota.
