Ahh... The Jonathan Toews "I'm not that good anymore and nobody will sign me to a contract that I feel is worth showing up to work for, so I'm hoping the cap hike in 2024 brings me money" special.

Lou will still find a way to give him an 8 year contract

Of course he will!!!
As he just missed out on re- signing Andrew Ladd again over this last weekend!
Bet if he legally changed his name to Ilyach Parisechuk he could get that plus a handshake agreement for another 8 years after.

It’s sad knowing your team has the worst GM
Until his play proves otherwise, he’s still a better option for the bottom 6 than anyone on the roster. He’s made plenty of money over the course of his career and I’d have to assume that this is his decision and not Lou’s.
It’s not like the Isles have a bunch of young prospects knocking on the door to replace him.

Except Parise scored 21 goals last year so It's not the same
Yeah, that's 6 more than Toews' 15.
... Of course, Toews also played 29 less games so here's your prize.

Let's Go Islanders!
Hell take his time and either formally retire during the season or sign in the 2nd half of the season with the NYI as a "black ace"

Parise wants to grow out his beard for once.
He’s had 36 goals and over 70 points the last two years. If you ask me he still good for 2-3 million

Isles lose a good 3rd line, 20 goal scorer who hit and blocked shots. Guess he didn't want to play with them.
Guessing you didn't watch any Islanders games last season.
Parise is still a good player unless he regressed big time over the summer.

Seriously though, what happened to him...I was sooooo upset when wings didn't get him and suter (more so Suter because we were losing Lidstrom) but after like year 3 with minnesota it was readily apparent that they just weren't HIM.
Thank God for Minnesota, as they say.

I wonder if both of them had specific teams in mind and didn't get the offers.

He wants to be a Devil.
Also, he wants to be a Star to be with his bff Ryan Suter.

Parise is 4 years older than Toews. It's more impressive to have 21 goals at the age of 38 than 15 goals at the age of 34.
Not really driving home the idea that a team would be more inclined to sign Parise than Toews by noting that he's much closer to 40...
I cannot imagine he has any interest in returning to NJ. His buddies are all gone the team has changed ownership and of course Lou is on the Island. What's he going back for?
He said in the past that it's the Islander or nowhere this season. Just burned out but not ready to say he's hung them up. In Lou's presser there was talk of him possibly coming to the team later in the season. We'll see.
