Confirmed with Link: Avs sign Zach Parise, 1-year, $825k

[Balthazar]

CMac better view this as more of a cherry on top.

How confident are you that it's the case?

How confident are you that it's the case?

73,6%.

 

[BobRossColton]

Cap hit =|= what the player makes (salary/signing bonuses)

MacKinnon makes 16.5 million this year, but his cap hit is 12.6

So that 833k is also wrong?

 

[LOFIN]

So that 833k is also wrong?

On the left, what Wild are paying him. On the right, what it costs against their cap.

yes because it's pro-rated over 82 games

We are talking about the Wild stuff, our deal with him is for 825k (which is something around 330k because pro rated as you said)

 

[sethro109]

Yes because it's pro-rated. 833k is for the whole season. If he plays 1/3rd of the season he gets 1/3rd of the money.

 

[Balthazar]

Yea I got the 825k and 833k mixed up

 

[sethro109]

Now the real question. Is he playing tonight?

 

[BobRossColton]

Now the real question. Is he playing tonight?

Have we seen him in any footage skating yet?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

He's getting more from Minnesota to play for Colorado, than he his from Colorado to play for Colorado

They are paying him $833k, but he has a $7.4M cap hit for Minny.

Now the real question. Is he playing tonight?

Aren’t they making him available to the media Monday or something? Have to guess he’s going to start playing after the break

Sorry. I really should have ended my "question" with a .

That. Is. Correct.

[Colorado Avalanche]

The fourth line definitely needed an upgrade so I guess I don't mind it. Good luck.

 

[missionAvs]

Don't mind this. I liked the way Parise played in his prime despite him destroying us repeatedly. Please no more MacDermid.

 

[pont]

Still seems to drive to the net very well.

 

[BobRossColton]

Please waive Dermy now

 

[Bonzai12]

Still got good hands

 

[Snow Arc]

So... why did Minny buy him out?

 

[Metallo]

I hope he still has 15 to 20 goals in him

That would be quite a finish to the end of the season.

 

[AvsCOL]

So... why did Minny buy him out?

He and Suter were bought out because of their awful contracts.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Still seems to drive to the net very well.

0:45 scrappy goal vs Colorado. That's type of stuff we need.

 

[the_fan]

That would be quite a finish to the end of the season.

LOL I didn’t mean scoring 20 rest of this season, I just meant I hope he still has a scoring touch of a 20 goal scorer like he did last year

 

[The Pwnerer]

I like this a lot. Gets to play half the year + playoffs in a bid to get a Stanley Cup. He's going to be extra motivated and should be well rested.
