He doesn’t want to make a big deal of it, but #Avs Zach Parise confirmed tomorrow night will be the last regular-season game of his career.

Non Minnesota Wild news (kinda) but this was expected. Parise last chance at a cup.

Hope he gets his cup. To this day one of my favorite cup moments was seeing Raymond Bourque hoist that thing. Would love to see the same for Parise, just wish it was in a Wild sweater.
So does this mean the buyouts were good after all considering retirement penalties? At least Parise’s?
So the buyout was a good idea then would have gotten burned with cap recapture right? And a locker room cancer.
Only hockey jersey I own. Still remember when he and suters contracts were announced
I still remember his signing thinking it was one of the greatest things for Wild hockey. Love Bettman and his response to it. Kids playing hockey today are still paying for Fletcher and the leagues choice to overreact about a legal signing. If you think we’re the culprit, imagine 10 years from now Vegas is still being punished for allowing cap circumvention using IR. It’s a different shade of blue.
Do we still have to pay him?
Man i remember being so excited when both him and Suter signed. I new it would lead to cap issues at the end but at the time i thought the franchise was being owned and run by people with some competence and was willing to trade a couple bad cap years for a legit shot at a cup.
instead we got virtually nothing to show for it, a lot of buffoonery, wasted Parise’s career and cap issues.
watching this franchise be as mismanaged as they are for 24 years is just (the MN way) … i have finally come to understand why my grandpa was so disinterested in MN sports in his final years.
