I don’t know how to feel about this.
I used to hate Zach on the Mild so I’m conflicted.
I think a larger move is coming and Parise is cheap depth. He did just score 21 goals last year
Used to be a great player. Hope he can do that here. Could be a great 2nd/3rd line guy. This tells me Nuke is gonna be gone for a bit though.
Depth, veteran face, wants to win a Cup, I like it!
Tatar Part 2: Parise Bugaloo
Assuming it’s close to league minimum, there isn’t really a downside. Lekky is in kind of a weird spot in the lineup so it give him someone else to play with
Big fan of this deal. Cheap, no risk, good depth. Hopefully he fits
Someone explain to me why this isn’t dumb.
That’s it? I was expecting a 7.5mx13yr.
Well, I didn’t want him, not excited about it at all, but just give me about an hour and I’ll talk myself into it.
Used to hate this guy now I love him. See him being Darren Helm level clutch for us in the playoffs.
Those bastards did it! I’m absolutely fine with this acquisition and trust the Avs front office more than any of you people
Also guys imagine us winning the cup again and the mild paying this man 7 million to do it
But…but…the Zach Parise jokes…
Huge fan of this deal. Middle 6 winger who will eventually push Kermit and Kiviranta out of the lineup. From everything I’m hearing about Parise, he’s a gym rat and hockey fanatic and at 39 years old he’s hungry for that cup. The Avs wouldn’t have brought him on if they thought he was slow and out of shape. He brings a veteran presence with over 1,000 NHL games under his belt.
Also: Parise is a left wing, Kovalenko is a right wing. Coincidenceithinknot
BOOOOOOOO FUCK ZACH
A little celly pic from ‘09 in honor of this signing. Most likely a celebration of one of Zach’s 82 points from that season (I lived in Jersey and frequented Devils games)
I like it. Hard working player who still has some left to give. Cheap and free. Adds depth to the lineup.
He isn’t the 2C that we need, but that might not happen considering the lack of cap space and the need to add a reliable 2nd goalie to the roster.
Better than Corey Perry
Why
In reality this helps fourth line depth. It’s just like the Helm addition (that worked out really well for us)
I honestly don’t know why everybody seemingly dislikes the guy, skilled vet for free depth, it’s the Wild still paying him, seems like a win win. Scratch him if he can’t hang.
I refuse to change my flair
Scored more goals last year than Kivirantas entire career. Huge upgrade for bottom 6 if the money is right and if he hasn’t lost it. Word is he’s a rink rat and a gym rat so fingers crossed. Also wants that Cup
Well, we HAVE to move RyJo now
Edit: how much though? If its not min then its gonna get wild
Just watched his highlight video for all of his goals. He still has some filthy mitts, and scores from everywhere. Not going to lie, I’m pretty excited now. Way different signing than Tatar

Being reported as 825K for those who want to know
I’ve been thinking we cannot win it all without Landy, but I think Parise’s hunger for a championship is going to really help
