NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 lol god they're really stringing out the pre-FA suspense for all it's worth. I just hope this doesn't go on two more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caron14 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Since that's an hour from now, I'd say its a safe bet he's testing. My understanding is lou made a offer with him and tell him he have up to 10 am to answer if he sign or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If he goes to Pittsburgh we need to have someone dump fake money on him when he comes back to the rock. A few guys did that to Bobby Holik when he came back to CAA as a Ranger. That was still one of my all time favorite funny Devils moments. I wish someone had that on tape. Haha, I remember that. We did the same thing when Gomez came back too. People were tossing singles around, and he got booed anytime he was even near the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 lol god they're really stringing out the pre-FA suspense for all it's worth. I just hope this doesn't go on two more weeks. It won't. This will probably be figured out by early evening tonight, maybe late tomorrow morning. I think the teams have their offers ready, and it'll just be a matter of Zach deciding what he wants.

I think the teams have their offers ready, and it'll just be a matter of Zach deciding what he wants. If Zach's really that conflicted where he's still considering at 9 AM whether to go FA, he's going to be even more conflicted when other teams can officially blow him away with big offers and front-loaded money.

It's still not going 2 weeks. I think he really wants to stay, but not if it's gonna cost him 10 million bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moustic Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Lemieux is one thing but Ken Holland? You say no to him the same way you say no to Lou. Screaming it as you run away head-start to avoid the death-glare he gives you the second his brain processes "no"? and what now scares me is the demand for a $12 million signing bonus....

NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Who said 10 AM is Lou's deadline? Zach isn't in the agent's office yet, maybe he's not texting his decision when he's in transit. Edited July 1, 2012 by NJDevs4978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 interesting that this is coming from the Devils official twitter: New Jersey Devils @NHLDevils: We anticipate a decision from #Parise by 10 A.M. today. http://ow.ly/bWqZU I also have this, not sure what it means: TSNDolan: Just spoke with #Parise's agent outside Newport offices - He confirmed Parise's in Toronto but isn't sure if he's coming in today or not.

devilsrule33 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Why is Lou giving ZP a deadline of 10am? if thats the case? WTF Lou. I'm just reading that as a heads up for all other GMs around the league. A courtesy to the other GMs that they should proceed with their plan A free agency plans if there is no deal with the Devils at 10am and to go with their plan B if he does sign.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 EVERYONE? 10 AM could be a time frame where they need to decide before Zach makes plans to travel to the agent's offices, it could be just a random time Zach gave Lou. How the hell do we know why 10 AM got floated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsfan26 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 EVERYONE? All I've read is that Parise will decide if he is going to be a UFA by 10, not that Lou set a deadline. Why would Lou tell him he has until 10 to decide? He's just going to stop offering contracts if it gets beyond 10:00? That doesn't make any sense.
