Zach Parise wanted to go home to Minnesota.
Travis Zajac preferred to stay in New Jersey.
Obviously I want to be here. I believe in this organization 100 percent, Zajac said of the Devils after the announcement today that he signed an eight-year, $46 million contract extension through the 2020-21 season.
I think its a first-class organization. Its the environment I want to surround myself in on and off the ice. My family is in New Jersey. We love the people here. We love living here. With all that and the players and coaching staff, I think we have a great chance here to always be successful.
