I doubt he will. It's the stupid Kovalchuk-fiasco again.

Kovalchuk for Kessel, so Parise and Kessel can finally play together.

He doesnt want to leave and NJ obviously doesnt want to let him go, Lou is doing everything he can to keep him.. problem is the money issue in NJ

Can't see NJ letting Parise walk. Would be a huge mistake.

The devils have a bit of money problem....... they are on the verge of bankruptcy

Will Schultz be the next Finger?
- Oilhab

finger was a shame really.. on a 1million dollar contract he would of been a very decent bottom pairing guy.. but in a cap world you cant pay guys like him 3.5 per annum

and shultz.. no sure how i feel on him.. generally i do not like players who refuse to sign with the club that drafted them.. shows a strain of selfishness

But you have to think the league wouldn't want them to sink even more.

- Pecafan Fan

I have to believe if he leaves it won't be NJ's fault.

Are you suggesting that teams who will draft in the top 10 met the players who might go in the top 10?

THAT'S SOME SWEET INSIDER poop RIGHT THERE! TAKE THAT, DREGER!

Dont tell anybody.. my sources are legit

Speaking of that, did anyone see incarceratedbob's tweet last night?

Still don't understand why Tucker was bought out so early in his contract
- JIMI-JAMES

Luongo = Vernon Wells

- Dozzer

Totally get that....but sometimes on rare occasion certain players just don't want to play in a certain place.

Me...if I was a decent player that knew other clubs would want me...I wouldn't sign in Columbus or Winnipeg. Why would you when you know other teams where you'll be happier will sign you.

Burke:How would like to thow your interviews with the top 4 teams and say you want to play for the KHL so we can draft you at #5?

Yakupov: What why would I do that I want to be NHL..

(Burke opens briefcase of millions of $$$)

Yakupov: Deal. Now maybe Russian mob will leave me alone.

Anaheim ain't columbus though... Living in Huntington Beach and playing hockey for a living... ya I can think of worse things. Like say... being called a bust on the front page of the Sun?

But hey, Canadian kid who wants to play in Canada - sounds like a Don Cherry favourite to me

If I was a can't miss player, I would go out and state what my favourite team is and attempt to play for that team.

Too bad he would have to wait until his 4th year before he gets paid.

speaking of which - anybody watch the Lindros thing on TSN last night? I forgot about the double trade...

- Big_Lightnin

Yeah with the Anaheim thing I don't get it...been to Anaheim and I'd be pumped to get to play there.

But maybe he just doesn't want to be in a non-hockey market...maybe he wants the big city, big hockey mad atmosphere where he gets to see a full crowd night after night.

There's obviously a touch of selfishness in there...but if he feels playing in Anaheim is detrimental to him and he won't be happy...then he won't be happy. Tough to argue with feelings.

I'm sure the "activities/amenities/weather" a city has to offer definitely factors into their decision.

I would pick the team with players I would like to play with no matter what the logo on the chest was.

of the muskoka 5.. he was the only one i really wanted to keep
- Dozzer

We should have kept Kubina.
