Default Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm disappointed I didn't see him in any of the paparazzi videos. Maybe that's a sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbgordon Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Take this for what it's worth but my dad called me last night to tell me some rumors he had heard regarding Parise. My dad goes to the same physical therapist that works with a bunch of the Devils including Parise. The guy is actually going to Parise's wedding, so I guess they're somewhat close. The PT told my dad that Parise had been offered 8 years/$80 million with a $20 million signing bonus. This seems quite high to me and I don't necessarily believe it, but who knows. And how is it legal for teams to already be approaching Parise or floating offers? Does the signing bonus get spread over the life of the contract and contribute to the cap hit?

CMONPETEYD Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 What if we tell him that we'll chip in and take care of his wedding registry? I'm in for the Bella Beer Mugs! My link Creepy by you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Devils can negotiate and formally make an offer at this point...and I don't think they are giving anyone a 20 million dollar signing bonus.

Agree, sounds way out of whack. Unless there's some serious money coming in from this mystery investor. With that Wild rumor, if true that they're willing to vastly outbid any other team, I think that's the landing spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that Wild rumor, if true that they're willing to vastly outbid any other team, I think that's the landing spot. i can't imagine anyone giving parise 8/80 in any capactity. and if some team does, i hope it's not the devils. that's a ton of money for a lot of years. only the devils can negotiate with him so if that offer is real, it can really only be from the devils and i just don't buy it. if the wild will outbid everyone else, then i agree there's a pretty good chance he goes home.

SterioDesign Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 to be honest chances are that if we see Zach in another jersey... that he'll be overpaid somewhere and eventually blamed for not living up to his contract i know agents are seeking to get every single dollars out there, but i wonder if sometimes the agent and the player really go for a fair price to avoid a possible "worst contract in the NHL drama" even if they could get a little more, especially UFAs when the market price is cranked up. so that he doesnt have to go through that sh!t with fans and medias calling you out cause you don't produce enough ala Kaberle, Gomez, Heatley, Kovalchuk, Lecavalier, Wiz, Phaneuf etc etc i know players have to believe in themselves and that you can't turn down a few extra millions... but i really wonder if theres a point where players are like "well if i get that money im gonna have to get 90+ points for the rest of my contract and im not quite sure i can pull it off, anything can happen... i'd rather play safe and get a fair price" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an absolutely AWESOME statement by Zach. I love this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 haha... Parise, making a mockery out of the NY media, AGAIN (after doing so 2+ weeks ago with their '94 "guarantee" kool-aid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovy138 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 i hope the rags fans see that. it's made me sick to my stomach the last couple months with the way they talk about how zach is gonna sign with them. thats the last jersey i wanna see zach wearing.

They were as right about Parise wearing a blue jersey next year as Sather was about them winning the Cup. Joke of a fan-base, joke media outlets, and joke organization, most arrogant bunch of people in the league. Edited June 13, 2012 by DJ Eco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 doesn't mean he won't sign with minny or detroit but based on these comments, i would up my chances of parise staying to 80%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovy138 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 doesn't mean he won't sign with minny or detroit but based on these comments, i would up my chances of parise staying to 80%. as long as he's not wearing a rangers jersey. i can't fathom going to a devils/rangers game at the rock and seeing parise on the back of a rangers jersey.

RedArmy8 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I dont' see Zach actually making much more per year, so I can see Lou giving him a Kovy like deal. There aren't many teams with the space and a new CBA coming around. I have a feeling he signs here long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
