if lidstrom retires
detroit could afford both Suter and Parise

You'd have 13 million in cap space?

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

so what does that say about Toronto...

So theyd end up giving up Luke Schenn and Kadri for sure, and more, but they'd be a top 3-4 team in the LEAGUE!? Ha!

For a UFA?? Are you retarded?

EDIT: I do agree that I will throw in a word or two that are targeted towards the sensitives.

according to the post......yes I believe he is

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.

Wouldn't make sense for Paise to go to a division rival. If that does happen, I will poop bricks.

I wonder if Parise can play centre? You guys think Kessel and Lupul would be 1 adn 2 if they had Parise? Or stay at 2 and tied for 4 in league scoring?

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.

You guys buddies? Have an inside scoop?

Toronto fixes broken windows?

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

You do understand what "future" means right?
Reimer has as much as of chance of becoming star as B schenn does.....and B schenn has done nothing in the NHL.

I'm not a huge fan of Reimer either.

Leaf fans were calling him god last year when he went on that run. Not so much no more.

ok what about new york?

a billion times better?

So could Calgary. Instant contender.

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.
- njdevils350

hahah....its not a contradiction -- its more of being unaware or even delusional than a contradiction.

dont be naive-- of course he said he is loyal to the devils, A) they are paying him right now B) they can still resign him -- why would he burn that bridge??

and the article ACTUALLY ends with him saying "that i agree with" in response to his dads comment of "this is business"

You guys buddies? Have an inside scoop?

I didn't mean to hurt your feeling but the reality is there are better teams with a better chance of winning who could offer him the same type of money. Do you really think he'd choose Toronto over Detroit, Pitts, L.A or Van. Probably a lot of other teams as well.

Wow the Leafs are going to be awesome with the additions of Getzlaf, Nash and now Parise.

that's quite the 2nd line!
