AZSIOUX Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Who and when, will offer up Zach Parise a contract? waiting game, hes restriced so new jersey can match any other offer but if another team makes a vanek style offer (as in more than new jersey may want to pay, NOT THAT SPECIFIC AMOUNT) he may be on the move, i still think he will be back in NJ Quote
redwing77 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 It's disappointing he got released by the Admirals. I'd go get my hockey fix while being home on X-mas break by going and watching him play. Article states he's a free agent. Don't think he was released. Sioux Traveler- Who and When will sign Zach Parise? I agree with AZSioux that he will more than likely end up a Devil. Espcially since the Devils lost the bidding war on Sheldon Souray. If you are wondering if there is competition to sign him, the answer is yes. Kevin Lowe (GM of the Edmonton Oilers) has expressed interest in going after Zach after he lost the bidding war over Thomas Vanek. Quote
choyt3 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Article states he's a free agent. Don't think he was released. Not to be picky, but the article was pretty clear. From the quoted article: Goehring was released by Milwaukee of the American Hockey League after last season Quote

AZSIOUX Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 zpar signed, no word on amount yet, grat for zach and the devils!! im guessing 5-6 years around 25-30 million http://devils.nhl.com/team/app/?service=pa...rticleid=335555 Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 zpar signed, no word on amount yet, grat for zach and the devils!! im guessing 5-6 years around 25-30 million http://devils.nhl.com/team/app/?service=pa...rticleid=335555 Great news. I'd think a multi-year deal around 30 million would be accurate. There were guys who didn't put up the numbers that he did, getting deals about that. Anyways, great news for the Devils and for Zach.

31-9 Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 4 years - 12.5 Million as per TSN for Parise http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=215253&hubname=nhl Quote

Fire that agent... http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/2007...793164968_x.htm Nothing wrong with his agent, Zach just drinks the Not saying Lou didn't get the better end of this deal, but the Devils are big on performance bonuses, which don't count against the cap, and which Lou doesn't disclose to press. Zach will get more than enough $$$ for what he contributes and in the long run his loyalty will be rewarded. Quote

AZSIOUX Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 But come on, 12.5 million won't pay the bills... exactly, especially if you spend as much as you make Quote
Diggler Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 But come on, 12.5 million won't pay the bills... I don't think Zach has as many kids as Latrell Sprewell, so he doesn't need as much money to feed his family. Quote
The Whistler Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Murray Chadwick: You know what Gordie Howe got for a signing bonus? A team jacket! Derek Sutton: [under his breath] Lousy agent. Quote
31-9 Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 The finer details of Zach's contract are out. "It's tough to say [buffalo's] Thomas Vanek got $50 million, so where's my $50 million?" Parise said. "It's a good feeling, that's for sure," Parise said. "I'm happy about it. I hope they're happy about. Now we'll just move on." No one attempted to sign him to an offer sheet (read: they're all scared of Lou) As expected, his salary is stepped over the 4 year contract. Cap hit is $3.125 Million. He earned $703,000 last season. 07-08 = $2 Million 08-09 = $2.5 Million 09-10 = $3 Million 10-11 = $5 Million Quote

Zach will get more than enough $$$ for what he contributes and in the long run his loyalty will be rewarded. I tend to agree. "Incentives" are usually one of the hallmarks of Devs' contracts. As well, if Parise didn't sign, he didn't have to, but he probably would have been traded or forced to sit out. For a 23 year old, that's a boatload of money. Neil Sheehy reps Zach, and he's not an idiot. Quote
mikeypat15 Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Ran into Troy Murray today at work, looks good and is the nicest guy. He had a lot of good things to say about the Blackhawks this season. Better yet, he believes Toews will be the Hawks go to guy by December. Lastly, he asked, Is it true they opened and another red pepper? His only response to me was, it will never match the one downtown. Quote
Just Curious Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Anybody got any information on Brady Murray's chances of making the NHL roster this year? I read one article about the development camp scrimmage where he had the game-winner, but with all the talent LA has signed these last few months, I am curious to see if he will get his shot or if he will spend a few years in the minors. Quote
Goon Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Lastly, he asked, Is it true they opened and another red pepper? His only response to me was, it will never match the one downtown. Actually that one by campus is a lot nicer and the food was the same. I had forgotten how big their sandwhiches were. Quote

Siouxmama Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 not sure on brady, maybe a year in the AHL or maybe not, i dont think he played in a scoring friendly league overseas so not sure how he would stack up in the NHL, i will say he will be an AHL player He shoulda stayed with the SIOUX!! Quote
Big A HG Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I loved the way Matt Smaby played while here...any chance he makes the big club this year? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I loved the way Matt Smaby played while here...any chance he makes the big club this year? yup, he could make the show from the get go, all a numbers game and what tyoe of improvement he made. im betting he wil be a 5-6 d man for the lighting this next season.

I don't know how long Brady will be in the AHL, but he will definitely start the year in the AHL at least. Brady, at least when I watched him, plays the type of game that really works in the new NHL. I don't know how his game will directly translate to the NHL either. However, I look forward to hearing about his progress. Quote
