Rangers Hoping for Parise

[sokar]

Hedberg is 37.

I don't get the panic. Next year, Langs and Arnott come off the books. That's 7.3 million right there. Add Parise's current hit of 3.125, and that's 10.425, 6 - 8 of which goes to Zach depending on contract length etc etc.

from those numbers there only way parise would leave is because he wanted to

Just out of curiosity, for those cap/CBA-ologists out there, a question. If Parise and the Devils were to agree to a new deal before his current deal is up, does the new deal(and associated cap hit) take over as soon as the deal is signed, or does the new deal only apply after the current one expires? I would hope/think it's the latter, but I don't know(obv).

When the current deal expires. They also cannot negotiate an extension until the final year of the contract. Contracts begin on October 1, so Lou and Zach cannot negotiate an extension until October.

I think they were able to negotiate starting on July 1.

Yeah I think your right. Basically everything with contracts expire/start on that day. 10/1 everything has to be finalized.

Let the Rangers make a ridiculous offer to Parise...the Devils will get what...5 first round picks for him...with the scout staff that the Devils have thats like picking the knife instead of the loaded gun in a fight...then again this is the Rangers were talking about so nothing is above them.

[Neb00rs]

If the Rangers ever sign Parise, and you can point back to this very post, I will put a bullet through Glen Sather's head and take a piss on his grave at the funeral.

Documented.

Pat Burns Award clincher right here.

Silly ranger fans. Lou has a plan for everything. I feel Zach will be locked up long term very soon.

[nmigliore]

Lmao, the Rangers can wish with one hand and sh!t in the other and see which one fills up first.

(edit: thanks MB for letting me know how to post Youtube videos like that)

just to confirm - they can negotiate with parise now (and could have after the hawks won the cup (even before 7/1)). you are correct that the cap would not be affected until 2011-2012.

Do you have a source for that? I was looking at the standard player contract, which states it begins on October 1.

With Kovalchuk’s deal out of the way, Lamoriello can also move on to signing Parise to a long-term extension. He is slated to become a restricted free agent next summer and is two years away from being eligible for unrestricted free agency.

“We’ll see,” Parise said of working on extension with the Devils. “I’m just more excited that we got Kovy for a long time. (Lamoriello) hasn’t talked to me yet, so I’m not too concerned about it. I’m pretty excited about Kovy coming back.”

Parise said he is still in the process of picking a new agent. The Devils have been free to sign him to an extension since July 1 and they could have begun negotiations even before then.

i'm too lazy to go look it up in the CBA but here's just the latest i found it. there's a direct quote from parise in another TG blog post where he says that while he doesn't have an agent yet, he'd speed up the process if lou wanted to talk extension right away.

[David Puddy]

Ah okay, guess I misinterpreted the CBA. IANAL.

[David Puddy]

Okay, I see what happened. I was looking at the nhlfa.com copy of the SPC, which is from the 1995 CBA. In the 2005 CBA, SPCs begin on July 1 rather than October 1. Everything makes a lot more sense now.

[ice dog]

think after zach had his teeth smashed by that nasty cross check during the playoffs with the rangers a few years ago, the rangers are not high on his list...lol

[robdeselich88]

Is it possible we sign him to another long-ass term of a deal?

I just always assumed that's why we have arnott here this year as well. To tie up the 4.5 for parise's average.

[devlman]

You can honestly change the title of this to '*INSERT ANY TEAM* wants Parise'

Not happening. Think Mikko Koivu.
