burke already said he does not want parise so dont get your hopes up
- matt1337

pfft, thats just a coverup

I like how it's only Prust that will be overpaid.
- weirdoh

They likely all will be overpaid considering their performance compared to the money they're about get. Parise will probably earn most of his contract though.

Whatever happened to the Hasek coming out of retirement business. Did he change his mind?

I'd be fine with Stastny.
- weirdoh

I need your help ovah dey.

Grabovski is overpaid at 5 million dollars because he is not capable of being a 1st line center, Statsny is, that's the difference. Stastny is capable of putting up 80+ pts, Grabovski isn't. Imagine Stastny slotted in between Parise and Kessel, holy crap, you can't say the same about Grabovski. Bozak would fill the same role at under half the price as well.

Grabs>>>> Stastny last 2 years, and Cheaper. That makes him a #1 and Grabs not?

and lest throw away our hardest working, best Defensive forward too.

If it ain't high noon, simply smoke another.

Stastny is a much better overall Centre. He can pass way better than Grabobovski, and his overall game is just a bit better imo. That being said, i'm not too sure I want Stastny for 6.6mil a year, even though he would be a good fit in Toronto imo.

Where am I wrong?

I already said how.... There is nothing he's done/hasn't done that has caused players not to sign here.

He realized he was 48 years old.

You guys excited for our 10th place finish coming up next year? This off-season will guarantee that!

He hasn't done much period as far as I'm concerned.

Jeez, even the Jets are in on Parise

Hurrah! Continued mediocrity

Grow up? Atleast try to make sense. I'm only saying that even if we're not Parise's top destination, Burke should be busting his balls trying to convince him and his agent. We have the financial resources to do so. At the end of the day he might not sign, and there's nothing that can be done about that. But stop marching at a damn parade and do your job.
- harza

He doesn't (frank)ing want Parise, what is so hard to understand? Why don't you go do your job, turning tricks for nickels in the men's washroom at the park.

meh...

Might be a better passer and what not, but Grabs is a heart and soul guy and he's better 2-way.. oh, and his contract isnt as bad

He hasn't done much period as far as I'm concerned.
- deerow84

right..... Beauchemin of Lupul and Gardiner. Nothing. Slaney and Lebda for Franson and Lombo. Nothing. Kaberle for 1st, 2nd and Colborne. Nothing.

if Burkie doesn't get Nash, Luongo and a #1 center today he should be fired imo

Brandon Prust will be another Armstrong-esque useless signing. To actually make use of these gritty role players, you have to make the damn playoffs.

anyone else?

And so begins the era where Gustavsson becomes what we all hoped he would.

Agreed. Stastny may be better passer, Grabs better goal scorer.... and agree Grabs>>> defensively and heart.

Ok so I guess you're fine without having a 1st line center. We don't need Kulemin if we sign Parise, we don't need Grabovski if we acquire Stastny as Bozak is capable of playing 2nd line center. Whatever floats your boat.

I agree! HUZZAH for Bobbyflex! HUZZAH!
