"Zach wants more playing time and to be the go to guy," a source said, "That has't happened since Kovalchuk arrived."

say what you want about ‘just reporting what you hear’ but you have a responsibility to do it appropriately. there is so much wrong with that quote and your blog that i’m not even going to get into it. this site is always good for some lulz

No chance. Their defense and goaltending is overrated. Big time. Nice group of forwards if they did but they'd have to give up a lot to get him and I dont think they have what it takes to get him. Other teams have better packages and he isn't signing there in the offseason.

Eklund: Parise's Time Left in NJ Looks Short
- Eklund



To say in the same article that he "wants to be the go-to-guy," and that "it's most important to be on a team that has a chance to win the Stanley Cup,"

Is a contradiction in and of itself. Particularly these days. Teams need more than one star to go all the way.

Also, it is worth noting that the article ends with quotes about Parise's loyalty to the organization.

Leaf fans? Calling Reimer a future star, and I believe was top 3 in All-Star goalie votes?

I got roasted in NJ boards for suggesting Parise's days were likely numbered there. Lou would never have given the "C" to him without a deal in place, they already have a deal worked out, Zach wants to stay blah blah blah

I was hoping for Vancouver since Schneider, Raymond, Ballard(the cash even up) etc seemed to fit but since we got Booth and Salo going down I'm guessing we'll be going for a defenseman and I think L.A. seems the more fitting destination.

L.A. has Bernier, Johnson, lots of young talent. Fills all the things NJ needs.
Not to say Parise still won't sign but every day it doesn't happen makes it more exciting.

They have what it takes to get him...but it's a matter of whether it's worth losing that many pieces. Getting Parise is great but not if you end up taking a step back to get him.

May as well just try and sign him as a UFA.

He wants to win a Cup. This was clearly stated. Florida isnt going to win a Cup. Pittsburgh? Only if Crosby retires, and what cap space does Vancouver have that im not aware about?
- FLYERSROCK!


Pittsburgh could fit him in and who wouldn't want to play with Crosby or Malkin. Vancouver has 10 million in cap space with, already, top 9 forwards and top 5 defenseman signed. Also Ballard and Alberts could easily be moved 6 million off the books there. But at this point I'd rather the Canucks go hard after Suter. I bet he'd wanna stay in the states though.

He is a UFA at season's end and does not have any say in where he plays until then, so it's really about who is the highest bidder up to the deadline, after that NJ could probably get a third round pick, or maybe even a second at the draft for the rights to negotiate if they don't think he will resign there.

why anyone would want to play in Edmonton is beyond me
- wingz4life

They play in Detroit and Edmonton is a 100 times better than the city of detroit.

So Leaf fans do. And since when does a fan base count as rating their team? When writers start saying how great Reimer is and that Gustavsson is a great back up. Then you can say they are overrated.
