This is probably it. Lou made his best pitch, Zach says you're still in, so then Lou knew what he had left over to play with for Marty and got that done. Perhaps Marty accepting and signing on helps Parise choose NJ, perhaps not. But it (Marty's offer and signing) had to wait until Zach had Lou's best offer.
