Parise A Wanted Man

Found May 27, 2012 on Kukla's Korner: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Zach Parise,  Ilya Kovalchuk,  Dainius Zubrus,  Marek Zidlicky,  Pavel Datsyuk

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal at Canada.com, Has there been a hotter ticket than New Jersey Devils forward Zach Parise on the free-agent stage in the last 10 years? You can see how badly he wants to win, the pistons pumping as he hunts down a loose puck in the neutral zone and sends it into the open net to ensure the Game 5 win for the Devils at Madison Square Garden. He’s the engine that drives the Devils, with due respect to the big wheel Ilya Kovalchuk, who is much better than I thought he’d ever be when they gave him that lifetime contract as a free agent. But how can there be room for both players next season and beyond when the Devils ownership is an absolute mess and Parise can easily get $8 million US on the open market? The Devils have no wiggle room because Elias ($6 million) and Dainius Zubrus ($3.4 million) aren’t unrestricted free agents until July 2013, the same with Marek Zidlicky on defence. There are four scenarios: Parise stays in New Jersey; he go...

The 47-year-old Czech goaltender isn't quite ready to say goodbye to the game he loves, telling Denik Sport that he is working hard to make a comback to professional hockey. Hasek has been in and out of retirement for the last 13...

Todd Cordell: Adam Henrique's OT winner sends the Devils to the Stanley Cup Finals

Via HockeyBuzz  |  May 26, 2012
Adam Henrique made a name for himself in the National Hockey League with his regular season play, and his name has only gotten bigger and bigger as the playoffs have went on. He's scored arguably the two biggest goals of the New Jersey Devils post-season run, and for those, like myself, who have watched him play since his days with the Windsor Spitfires, it has been no surprise...

New Jersey Devils Make The Finals

Via Kukla's Korner  |  May 26, 2012
Who would have predicted that New Jersey would make the Stanley Cup finals this year?  They missed the playoffs last year with a very similar roster to the one they have this year.  If I made a power ranking list I wouldn’t have ranked them in the top ten when the season ended.  They wound up with the ninth best record at the end of the regular season.  There is little to see...

NEWARK, N.J. -- A year ago, the New Jersey Devils failed to make the NHL playoffs for the first time in 14 years. It was a down time for the proud and storied franchise, one that had captured three Stanley Cup championships since 1995. Now, with a new coach, a new system, some new players and some late-season confidence, the Devils are making their first trip to the Stanley Cup...

True, the Devils have perhaps the two best forwards in Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise. But the Kings have so much depth. At forward, on D, even in goal. The Stanley Cup playoffs are a marathon...
