hear him and Suter are putting in joint bids on buying some of those 1,000 lakes up there.

Sorry,Parise is good-but that is way too much damn money for a guy whose point production has gone down every year since 08/09.Won't count 10/11 as he was injured and only played 13 games.

To be honest i'm still not sure he hasnt lost a step since the last injury.He hasn't been close to the same in shoot outs and break aways and seems to have lost some touch in front of the net.He didn't score a lot of goals last year that were normally lay ups for him we'll see

It's not circumvention because the Devils aren't doing it. Btw, a wise sports talk-show host once said "when someone says it isn't about the money, it's about the money" I don't buy it for one second. He sold out, plain and fucking simple.

Not trying to call foul here, but I thought the rule was max 50% drop off in salary? Is that 6 Mill to 2 Mill accurate or am I way off on the rule?

Also although this makes me hurt now, there will absolutely come a time in about 5-7 years where Zach's age and the style he plays will catch up to him. Kovy is a ridiculous shooter, and as you can see from Sykora (who is nowhere near the athlete of Kovy) you can still score a lot of goals with a wicked shiot.

I also haven't read anything about a signing bonus. Did he recieve one? I thought a signing bonus couldn't exceed 10% of the total salary, so in the case, he couldn't recieve a bonus of more than $9.8mil--although, I could be mistaken.

His contact calls for a $10 million signing bonus and a $2 million base salary in each of the first two seasons. In the third year, Parise will get a $5 million signing bonus with a $6 million base, meaning he’ll receiving $35 million in the first three years of the deal.

In the fourth through eighth years of the contract, Parise will have a $9 million base salary, which will decrease to $8 million in the ninth year, $6 million in the 10th year, $2 million in the 11th year and $1 million in the final two years.

This violates the Kovy clause, as does Philly with the Talbot deal he signed last year. I guess the good news is that lou has some really good cases to be given the lost 1st round pick back.
