Zachary Justin Parise (born July 28, 1984) is an American professional ice hockey left winger of French-Canadian origin who is currently a left winger for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL). Parise's father, J. P. Parisé, was a professional ice hockey player who played for Team Canada at the 1972 Summit Series, and his brother Jordan Parise is a professional hockey goaltender.

Stop the papers, the internet is about to explode. Zach Parise has just signed a 7 year deal worth 50 million, and the New Jersey Devils has traded him to the [Buffalo Sabres]] for Tyler Myers! his has been yet ANOTHER move on a busy Monday June 18th day! Shea Weber and Ryan Suter have both been tarded from the Nashville Predators earlier in the day. This could go down as one of the most EPIC days in NHL history folks, I give that an E4.5, stay tuned!

And Regier said it's possible Armia could bypass Rochester and come directly to the NHL.

Said Regier: "Ability-wise and projecting him, he'll have to come to training camp but his talent and skill level would make it a possibility for him to play out of the gate."

the Sabres held a draft preview press conference today with general manager Darcy Regier and scouting director Kevin Devine, but much of the chatter at the 35-minute session was about Regier's theories on the trade market, both with his four draft picks in the top 44 and on potentially moving for NHL-level players to help his ninth-place-in-the-East club.

The draft is Friday and Saturday in Pittsburgh.
"More calls have gone out than I've been receiving," Regier said. "But that doesn't mean it won't change. The tendency is for this thing to ramp up as you approach the draft and when you get on the floor, it gets a little crazier."
The Sabres appear bent on using their picks to acquire players and not to move up to a top-5 slot in a draft that has a lot of uncertainties because of players missing time in junior and because several of the top picks are Russian. The Sabres traditionally shy away from Russians and they're a big worry across the league because of the lure of big money from the KHL.

Devine said he likes the depth of the top 20 in the draft but notes there's no superstar talent the likes of Steven Stamkos or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to be had.
"For us to try to move up in the top five, for the price it's going to be, I'm not sure if it's worth it," Devine said. "Because I'm not sure those players have distinguished themselves any differently than some of the players that might be around [No.] 9."
In other news from Regier today:

---The Sabres have not yet opened negotiations with restricted free agents Tyler Ennis and Patrick Kaleta
---The team has not closed the door on re-signing Jochen Hecht, who Regier says is now healthy after longterm concussion issues.

---Finnish winger Joel Armia, the No. 1 pick from last season, is expected at prospect camp next month at Niagara University. He signed his three-year entry level contract last week but it won't begin until the 2013-14 season while he plays during the upcoming season in his homeland. And Regier said it's possible Armia could bypass Rochester and come directly to the NHL.

Said Regier: "Ability-wise and projecting him, he'll have to come to training camp but his talent and skill level would make it a possibility for him to play out of the gate."

That sounds about right
I was so high on moving up for Galchenyuk bc it looked like he was gonna slip to somewhere between 5-7... To get him there woulda been an absolute steal... And not cost an arm & a leg to move up to that point

But now it looks like he's going to go in the top3
And it'll cost way too much to get us up to that point

With all the names I've heard lately possibly jumping up into the top10 though,
Some guys are gonna have to drop
There's always a surprise guy that falls for some reason
Couturier was that guy last year (still pissed Philly got him)
This year I could see Griegorenko slipping...
ESP if Toronto acquires Getzlaf or Staal or any established center

Let's put all this nonsense about moving up to rest already.

Crap draft.

period.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Sabres general manager Darcy Regier has made it no secret that he's ready to play "Let's Make a Deal" at the NHL draft this weekend.

Regier revealed on Monday that he's already been "very active" in trade talks with several teams to gauge what deals might be available. Atop his wish list is adding a top-line forward to improve what had been a high-priced, underperforming team that failed to make the playoffs last season.

This is not a "crap draft" at all
Just because there aren't any guys deemed as superstars,
Doesn't mean there won't be A LOT of "good - very good" players

It's like deciding whether you want a Pacer, a Matador or a Gremlin-

Move picks for someone w/a REAL track record.

I'm not opposed to what you're saying
But the talent available at the draft is nowhere near as bad as u make it seem

Problem with getting help right away,
Is that the guys available, are available for usually good reasons...
Stastny- high cap hit, 2 straight down seasons
E. Kane- (who I'd love) selfish teammate with maturity issues
Etc, etc, etc

It's not likely to see a Roy for Pavelski deal

The talent in this draft isn't bad...just not anywhere near worth overpaying to move up for.

I agree for the most part
But I also feel the price for stastny, getzlaf, staal, etc is also WAY too much
