people seem to think that Parise will stay after we trade for him, i seriously doubt he would, he would most likely be a 2nd line player which he wouldnt like and its not the same as the Kovy situation. Just because Kovalchuck stayed doesnt mean Parise will.

I would be willing to give up Henrique, Clarkson and a 2nd rounder to get Parise.

Im just glad Lou is at the helm right now. The guy is the definition of shrewd, so i f Parise seeks greener pastures, LL will make the suitor pay dearly.

For the record, im ok with Zach leaving for the right price. We're not winning the cup this season whether he stays or goes, so, i would just assume we restock the coffers.

I really dont see how people could be stupid enough to say we would trade Schenn Kadri and a 1st for Parise when Oduya Bergfors Cormier and a 1st was for KOVI! Kovi is clearly a better point producer then Parise and Schenn has a huge edge on Oduya and no one would trade Kadri for Cormier and Bergfors together....god why would we trade that for Parise when we could easily trade Schenn and kadri plus a 1st for Getzlaf Nash or Ryan... Who wouldnt leave our team and give us size that we need so much... Also i have no clue why Burke would even consider trading anyone of importance for Halak. Everyone seems to think im crazy but i really dont value Parise much if hes just gonna leave in a couple months for guys who could be top players for the leafs for 15 years.
- Bar-South


this is what you're missing:

Kovy could have walked away from NJD.

what was the deal:

All-round D-man
forwards: potential/prospects (Bergfors, Cormier)
Picks

what did i propose

All-round D-man: Shenn whose stats are not that far off from Oduya;s
forwards prospect/potential: Kadri (who knows what he'll pan out to be at NHL level just like Bergfors and Cormier)
picks

grain of salt here. Lupul and Kessel on the 1st line wings. Their point totals say he's right. Parise would be on 2nd line

ok sure Oduya led the league in hits for d men? Yup sure i could also say Gunner is an all around d man. And that Colborne is a prospect, so how about Gunner and Colborne plus a 1st for Parise. That is something i would do.

I saw it first time last night and couldn't stop laughing. Though, I find it's more I'm laughing AT him. Same with the movie.

yup no way they break up Lupul and Kessel, unless Parise jumps back to Center. but if not then he would be on the second line, although he would play on the right side on our 1st power play unit.

YOU believe signing Kovalchuk was the "right call" OMG you are drunk Eklund. I would love to read this explanation.
- Mr_Smokey


Might want to re-read that part. It was in quotations from his source. He stated right after that he did not agree with the source on that point.

you like basing things solely on stats. Which winger does Parise bounce off Toronto's 1st line? The one who's 6th in the league in scoring? or 8th?

Smart. Trading Parise may be the right thing for the Devils. If the Islanders were a real team I'd love to get him.
