Mikheyev's nonchalant confusion was the best part of that :laugh:

Like people stopped even going after him he was so passive
 
I hate to give the guy any benefit of the doubt but his own guy Jones stick does comes in there and catch him up high at :45. Won't stop me from laughing at Mike Smith though.
 
Parise is a healthy scratch tonight.
that contract looks terrible. I doubt he plays till the end of it and i wonder what the Wild would pay to unload it. They have two first rounders.

There seemed to be mutual interest between Parise and the Islanders, but it would've required Minnesota taking back Andrew Ladd (5.5 AAV) plus retaining on Parise's deal (7.54 AAV). Getting the cap hits to balance was the road block, but maybe it's something they can revisit. Their remaining salaries:

2020-21: Parise (8) vs. Ladd (1 mil in salary, 3 mil signing bonus already paid?)
2021-22: Parise (6) vs. Ladd (4)
2022-23: Parise (2) vs. Ladd (4)
2023-24: Parise (1)
2024-25: Parise (1)

And it's amusing seeing Bill Guerin potentially having to negotiate against his former GM. Back in the day, Guerin requested a trade from the Devils because of a contract dispute. Lou shipped him to Edmonton.

I think they just ran out of time to figure out how to make the math work since Parise made double what Ladd did this season. A year later, the remaining dollars are a little closer although I wonder if the pandemic has made Lou reconsider how to use their cap space for the next few years.

Minny is supposed to be going into a rebuild...

So they are at a crossroads because Kapizov has been to good. Push forward and stay mediocre for years? Or pull the rip cord and tank this season and next? If it’s B then keeping parise is no issue.

I think they are a re-tool not a rebuild. Rossi is going to be a stud with Kapizov. They need a goalie, not sure if Kahkonen is the long term answer there
 
I was hoping Parise would sign with the Kings after the '12 Cup...didn't realize he and Suter had the MN history and 'collusion' brotherhood thing going...
Also wouldn't have wanted his term.
But for a few years he would have been excellent on the Kings.
 
NHL trade deadline 2021: Will the Canes re-sign Dougie Hamilton? Trade options for Blackhawks, Kings

Jack Eichel trade talk, real or perceived, will only grow

Just like in the fall, the Rangers have become the hot topic. New York’s reported inquiries ignited the first firestorm. The Big Apple loves its Broadway stars, and Eichel would fit the bill. Not only that, the Rangers have the cap space and assets to create a blockbuster with a strong prospect pool. The Kings similarly have young assets, cap space and a need for a new face to stay relevant in a city full of stars. -John Vogl (Feb. 18)
 
Wow, they actually cut to the puck drop in Anaheim with 1:33 left in the Boston game and moved it to NHLN. They never do that for us.
