NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I mean the only reason for a deadline is if you're worried about him walking and feel like you need to go on to plan B sooner rather than later but then why make the deadline 10 instead of 12? I don't see the point for Lou to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 FWIW: the $12 million signing bonus he wants is a Lockout Guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Just want to say good luck to everyone for when noon arrives. Have your scotch handy. I'm crossing my fingers and nervous as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Also I couldn't find a picture of it anywhere online but theres a mural when you go down that small escalator exit to Lafayette street. I can't remember the exact 5 who are up on it but Parise is the last one left on the team. I think the other 4 were Gionta, Langenbrunner, Martin and White. you are correct. Nick Kypreos @RealKyper Many #NHL teams will present Parise including #Sens. Many will disappear quickly when they find out a 12M sign' bonus is needed on the spot Scary just to think about that ! that is the one thing i was hoping he wouldn't ask for. makes it very tough for NJ. Why is Lou giving ZP a deadline of 10am? if thats the case? WTF Lou. As was said, who said this was Lou that demanded to know by 10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderDogX Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's 10am, do you know where your Captain is? if the Captain's name is Morgan he's in about every Devil's fans glass right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 if the Captain's name is Morgan he's in about every Devil's fans glass right about now. It's 10 in NY, but it's 5 o'clock somewhere, and that's all that matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMazz Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski Were I a betting man: Suter to Detroit, Parise to NJ (Lou's Kool-Aid), Nash to Rangers and Luongo to Panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devils26 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 that is the one thing i was hoping he wouldn't ask for. makes it very tough for NJ.. Yea I don't think the comment from Parise/his agent is getting enough play in this thread. If that signing bonus is really a requirement, how much of a chance do we really have? Of course I'm holding out hope, but that comment from the Parise camp really knocked my confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Lou needs Zach to make a decision. Lou knows he cannot top the offers that are incoming. He needs to make back-up plans immediately. I believe the 10am deadline is accurate. This is up to what Parise wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangerfans Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 With those signing bonuses, you can cross out Pittsburgh. They won't be able to frontload that. The Wild can. Detroit can. Ottawa will make a run for him to. My bet is Minn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the Parise camp say this? It was Kypreos who reported the $12 million signing bonus, doesn't make it true.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I'm hoping for that too...it wouldn't take this much time to announce that Zach is going UFA, unless 10 AM was a loose deadline. Edited July 1, 2012 by NJDevs4978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpower Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't know if I believe that, because of his age this means the deal would have to be out to 12-13 years. It would have to be a monster of a contract. Looking $85M-100M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
