I really like Prust but 4 years for a fighter ? Any idea what the terms are ?

Honestly, so do I? Why? Because Q gets fired because he didn't do squat last year and with the same squad, he isn't going to anything again. It's a win for all of us.

Loss for all of us. One more year thrown away for #2, 7, 10, 19, 36, 81, & 88.

To temper #pens fans: Club confidence doesn't mean deal is done or close, just pleased with how discussions have gone #PariseWatch

Dave Molinari‏@MolinariPG

Carolina GM Jim Rutherford says Parise decision on where to sign likely coming Monday.

So the Pens are gonna have three 9 M forwards? OK then...

...so is the deal done or not?

Doubt that move opens up any deal between MB and SB.

Pierre LeBrun‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

From Suter's agent Neil Sheehy, "I am fielding many calls and methodically returning each one-by-one. It is going to take some time

Holy Zhit , Prust got 10m for 4 years ? Jeeeeees

Why couldn't they? Better team than Jersey on paper. Better team than most I paper. Filling that ledger with more talent would be great but games are won on the ice, not on paper. Special teams, system, commitment.

So the posts just a few above are that the 'guins don't have Parise ... yet. But if they do, then 40% of their cap is with 3 players .... hmmmm.

5 mil per in cap space for a 35 yr old seems a bit excessive. 4 yrs @ 12mil front loaded cap hit 3 mil.

Source also saying Suter between three teams: Flyers, Red Wings and... Canucks.

What happened to the Madison connection?

On paper? Brilliant concept.

Had to leave the beach due to a storm and it worse reading our GM is paralyzed to make a trade. Someone please relieve Stan of GM duties

and they've proven the last 2 years that paper is not translating on ice

Prust just got 2.5 per , Doan should get almost double that

- StLBravesFan

What about the "close to home" connection? Vancouver (especially) and Philly seem like a reach.

He's paralyzed to do anything.

And "there's good cap space to do something later, after we see what we need, or at the TDL. "

Looking at cap geek and in fact if the Pens do sign Parise.....it's all in for 12-13 and then after that.....lots of money going to less than half of a roster.

Canucks?? I don't see it happening at all.
