Zach Parise Trade Package Return

[yakitate304]

Parise isn't half the player that Kovalchuk was when we traded for him. Knee problems are a major red flag since he's showing a very limited game.

[BenedictGomez]

I loathe these sorts of threads.

How is this not locked already?

Make it stop!

His lack of production has nothing to do with his knee.

if parise walks after the season, the devils get $6m in cap space. that's better than most trade returns proposed. why take on $3m for a 4-5 type d-man that can easily be replaced by devils system internally?

Scenario 1
We trade Parise, we miss the playoffs. he signs else where.

Scenario 2
We don't trade Parise, we make the playoffs, get swept, he signs else where.

I'd much rather go with scenario 2 than 1. The bad return would not be worth it. Even nothing is better than crap.

Because I love Taormina too much in Albany for him to get called up. Seriously, that would depress me.

When John Maclean went down with a knee injury back in 1991
he was never the same player as he was before the injury. He was
a sniper pre-injury, but after he came back he was never the
same player. Will Zach ever be a point per game producer again
or does he really need Zajac to put up the stats he had before
his injury?

1988-89 New Jersey Devils NHL 74 42 45 87
1989-90 New Jersey Devils NHL 80 41 38 79
1990-91 New Jersey Devils NHL 78 45 33 78

John Maclean misses the entire 1991-1992 due to a knee injury

1992-93 New Jersey Devils NHL 80 24 24 48
1993-94 New Jersey Devils NHL 80 37 33 70
1994-95 New Jersey Devils NHL 46 17 12 29
1995-96 New Jersey Devils NHL 76 20 28 48
1996-97 New Jersey Devils NHL 80 29 25 54

I'd be good with trading him but I doubt it happens to be honest. I'm expecting him to walk or us to overpay 7Mill+

[GM17*]

Until parise very publicly rejects the second most lucrative contract in hockey history his value is much much higher than kovalchuks was

[Eggers]

Parise isn't a good player anymore. That's why all the other teams want him and that's why our fans feel we deserve a king's ransom for losing him.

Zach's Last 9 Games Played

GP G A PTS +/-
9 1 2 3 -6

[Vick Vinegar]

I think we would have to package him with Marty, Larsson and a 1st round pick. Otherwise nobody would take him.

Maybe we can trade him for Zetterberg or Paul Martin.

I can get on board with that.
