Parise wasn't coming back, as we've been over many times in the past 5.25 years. He wouldn't have been here to win the cup with us in 2013.Like the last 5 seasons haven't been one? Haven't exactly been banner seasons.
so we got screwed either way. Yeah I get it they aren't on our roster now and that's the real plus. But ask yourself coming off a cup finals run and they do bring both guys back. And say they win the cup in 13. Would you take that cup win and still have them now? Or how it's playing out now?
And I think the idea is that we hope that we'll be up and running and competitive, when Parise and Kovalchuk would be in their heavily declining years and in their mid/late-30's and on really expensive contracts.
