Parise Yes because he was full of ****. In the long run he did us a favor.
Clarky No he went after the money that Lou would never have given him, and should not have given him. Same deal as Gio
Just as a slight clarification, Gio was looking to stay in NJ and was willing to take a discount but Lou never made ANY sort of offer to him at any point. Then MTL came along and the combo of it being a historic team and one of the better offers made it a fairly easy decision.
True I'm mainly speaking of the money. Neither one would have received the money from Lou. I still don't like hoe the whole Gio thing went down. Still when healthy was one of the scrappiest players out there.
Everything happens for a reason and if we had re-signed Gio, Kovy likely would not be a Devil today
Id never boo Gionta.
Parise? Yes. Little **** talking about his constant contact with Suter during the season. **** off ****ing ****face **** head *******.
Will their agents be with them?
Will their agents be with them?
Clarkson's situation of moving on to his next team is really not at all comparable to Parise's
The organization wanted Parise back at essentially any cost and he made it seem as if he was absolutely going to be back to the fans and more importantly the organization
We had moved on from Clarkson a week before he was set to become a FA, no hard feelings it's just the way the business is, similar to how we had decided to move on from Gio
Clarkson will probably get booed by a few idiots, but it really would be for no good reason
So fans who chose to boo an opposing player are idiots?
Whether fans boo or not, its their choice and either way is fine.
He was a great guy in NJ off the ice and gave it his all: don't boo
He chose to leave the Devils, the team that brought him into the league and offered him a nice contract: boo
