rolston clears wavers may or may not play

[TheRobotDevil]

Can't say I didn't expect him to clear waivers.the surprising part was lemaire saying he's not playing till he feels he's in shape to play.kind of makes you wonder what's going on with rolston.

Lou can't give Rolston away. Are the Devils going to have the cap space to resign Parise? Who's coming off the books? Will Langenbrunner be traded?

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I know langenbrunner and arnott are off the books after this year possibly a few more I suppose you could factor in what parise is getting paid now toward available space for next year but we are still over the cap.the only thing that's kept us under is injuries.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Hedberg and Greene are also ufas and quite a few rfas listed mostly on defense

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

So basically the Devils shouldn't have a difficult time resigning Parise with Langenbrunner & Arnott off the books right?

 

[TheRobotDevil]

With the way things have gone with the devils lately I wouldn't count on a sure thing.on one hand the fact that he's an rfa is a little more comforting on the other the fact that no one has contacted parise regarding negotiating a new contract while he's been injured and free is worrisome.

Is he kidding. How far do you need to skate to play the trap?

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I'll put up a link to the article when I get home boss.its hard to interpret can't see having one game off putting somebody out of game shape.I'm assuming lemaire is saying rollie is just plain out of shape.or perhaps he wasn't ready when he came back from the injury.hard to say

I wouldn't be concerned. No team is going to negotiate a new contract with an injured player. Once they know Parise is 100% they will probably begin contract talks.

That will be quite some time parise's doctor doesn't want him on skates until march

He will still be Devils property. There aren't many teams who are going to be willing to give up the draft pick compensation it would take to sign Parise to an offer sheet. Especially if they aren't sure he's made a full recovery.

Lets be honest if the Devils don't resign Parise how would the Kovalchuk signing look? I honestly think it would be Lou's worst nightmare come true.

In any event, it sounds like he should be allowed back on his feet to at least play golf with the rest of team come early April.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

That's the comfort I get out of him being an rfa.and to be honest I would take parise over kovy any day of the week.still think that wad more of a vanderbeak signing.

 

[TiLoBrown]

You and I both Clarkson

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Hope you enjoyed the game last night tilo

 

[TiLoBrown]

Actually I did, the guys in front of me hated Kovy as much as me It helps that we played ALOT better too.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

They played a good game just didn't score.that last rangers goal was a fluke.arnott was pissed about that call can't blame him.was nice to see zubrus showing strength

 

[TiLoBrown]

That was such a BS call, they let alot more things go and then for them to call that out of no where I was ready to walk home

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I was yelling at the tv.also got a kick out of tedenby staring at lundqvists pads after missing the breakaway like he was surprised how big they were.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

My only concern with resigning Parise is he has stated he doesn't like the revolving door of coaches since he came into the league. The J Mac disaster won't help that too much.
