Deal is $98 million over 13 years for Parise

From LeBrun

 

[Alucard]

Semin to be Crosby's linemate?

Paul Martin to Nashville?

Minnesota to challenge in the West?

Free Agent!...FRENZY.

 

[Brinbe]

Wowwwwwwwww, that shit is truly Cray.

 

[Tabris]

Weber is signing with the Canucks next year, and potentially this year in a trade if NSH knows they can't re-sign Weber.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Even though this may suck for the Canucks due to the division getting tougher and we'll be without our 3rd best player for the first 2 months, I LOVE the fact that the Pens and Wings got screwed.

How did pens get screwed? They dodged a bullet... Glad to see you're still clueless.

 

[Fei]

So the Wild have over a third of the cap tied up in 2 players. Not really, since its pure cap circumvention, but you get it.

? They'll probably come in around 7-7.5M per. ~20%

 

[yankeehater]

From LeBrun

God damn that is a lot of money.

 

[Solo]

A Minny lifelong will appear soon, book it

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Wonderful. We only have the Flames to pad our fall to the bottom of the division now. As long as we can keep up with them in loser points, that is.

Edit: On second thought this may force Sherman into buying a few more pieces. Semin?

 

[E-DuB]

The best thing to come out of this: Nash, Ryan, Semin, etc. deals will finally fucking happen.

Espcially this.

Congrats to Minny. Now let's start the damn season already!

 

[sefskillz]

98 million for Parise. I imagine Suter's terms match that

 

[Solo]

? They'll probably come in around 7-7.5M per. ~20%

Again, its the cap circumventing that angers me. The cap is a fucking joke. Both guys will make $24M in the next 365 days.

 

[Tabris]

lol, it's now "dodging a bullet", instead of the "The Parise-Crosby-Dupuis line will be amazing! Come on, sign with us!".

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

A few weeks ago the odds for the Wild winning the Cup were 75/1. I thought about betting on them since they were really a number one defenceman away from being a very good team.

Now I'm kicking myself.

 

[SpacLock]

I will forever hate Parise for dragging Suter away from the universe's all star team.

 

[yankeehater]

Be happy to know that this is the last year of it.

 

[Vman]

I Told you all

 

[sefskillz]

Apparently they all want to play in Nashville too.

we're a feeder team, ive accepted it

 

[Cagey]

13 years and 98 million? For Zach Parise?

Oh my god. That's brutal. I love the guy. Had an unhealthy mancrush on him. But the whole season chats between myself and several friends centered around 10 years being absurd for him.

 

[KernelPanic]

Can't wait to see what Matt Carle gets now :lol

No more free NW division title for Vancouver

 

[yankeehater]

I Told you all

Congrats! You must be going crazy right now, Wild were already a good team last year. They should challenge for the division now.

 

[Tabris]

Wonderful. We only have the Flames to pad our fall to the bottom of the division now. As long as we can keep up with them in loser points, that is.

Nah, you'll be able to beat EDM still. Khabibulian (spelling?) isn't that good of a goaltender and Dubynk definitely isn't there. And Justin Schultz, even if he proves to be the touted prospect, he's still an offensive d-man. They are going to let in a lot of goals.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Also a plus - Pittsburgh made all this space and room for nothing

 

[yankeehater]

Can't wait to see what Matt Carle gets now :lol

Ugh, I just hope it isnt from the Flyers. He is going to get crazy overpaid now.

 

[Solo]

Yeah, these deals are fucking crazy. You'd think we were dealing with two generational talents rather than 2 really good players.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Lol, Pittsburgh.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Yeah, these deals are fucking crazy. You'd think we were dealing with two generational talents rather than 2 really good players.

Paris has a 90 pt season under his belt last time he was fully healthy, which he presumably will be this year. How many active players have that? 10?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Also a plus - Pittsburgh made all this space and room for nothing

They'll resign Crosby for 18.7 milli per year now.

 

[SpacLock]

Freeeeee agent freeeeeenzzzzzzz. Z y

So he hasn't been healthy for 3 years? Not worth $100M then.

 

[Fei]

Also a plus - Pittsburgh made all this space and room for nothing

Yep. They're looking a lot more susceptible than last year. You'd think they've got to make another move to do something about that defense.

 

[calder]

Holy shit.



So, maybe Jets stay in SE for another year, see how things go. Just spit ballin' here.

The Red Wings will now have to fall back to Plan B: having one of their seventh-round picks develop into a hall of famer.

 

[DopeyFish]

Holy shit.

Actually best to stay there awhile lol

 

[yankeehater]

I imagine somewhere Semins agent has a huge smile on his face. I bet we see a bidding war between the Pens and Red Wings for him.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

lol, it's now "dodging a bullet", instead of the "The Parise-Crosby-Dupuis line will be amazing! Come on, sign with us!".

Please find where I said this even once. What's that you can't? Clueless yet again Tabris, you must enjoy the delusions.

Do you really want another lazy player on your team? Team was already playing lazy/below their skill last year, I can semin fitting into that nicely. :/ As long as the term isn't too long it might not be bad though since I think avs still have a shitload of cap.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Yeah, these deals are fucking crazy. You'd think we were dealing with two generational talents rather than 2 really good players.

Cap took a pretty significant jump. Teams had tons of space and they were the best two players available this year.

 

[Marvie_3]

I Told you all

Congrats man. Would have loved to see either in Chicago but now I can see them live quite a bit.

 

[Tabris]

Paris has a 90 pt season under his belt last time he was fully healthy, which he presumably will be this year. How many active players have that? 10?

And was a Selke nominee. He's the whole package and a first line player on any team except possibly VAN (Parise wouldn't make sense with the Sedins over Burrows most likely)

Suter is more of the unknown as he has been playing with in my opinion, the best d-man of the last couple of years.

Please find where I said this even once. What's that you can't? Clueless yet again Tabris, you must enjoy the delusions.

I was talking about Pens fans in general. I honestly haven't paid enough attention to you to realize what team you were a fan of. I thought it may have been Tampa Bay or Boston, before.

 

[cube444]

B-b-b-ut everyone wants to play for the Pens! :lol

 

[ShaneB]

Jeez, 13 fuckin years. God damn.

 

[Cake Boss]

Lol I forgot they were paying Heatly 7.5

 

[Solo]

Since all the marquee FAs aside from Semin are gone, I think this is going to be an offseason of many trades.

Nyquist.

I expect Damien Brunner to be a household name this season.

 

[sefskillz]

Preds offer was 13 years, 90 million

 

[Cactus]

Are you arguing that Parise is worth 98 million dollars or that he's an elite player?

 

[Kifimbo]

Yeah, these deals are fucking crazy. You'd think we were dealing with two generational talents rather than 2 really good players.

Was about to say this. This is the kind of money you throw at top-5 players in the league. The Crosby, Stamkos, Ovechkin (the old one).

 

[purg3]

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

REALLY?

Shero Pls

 

[KernelPanic]

Should rename the team to the Minnesota Heat

 

[Solo]

Cap took a pretty significant jump. Teams had tons of space and they were the best two players available this year.

Cap will likely shrink post-lockout though.
