Devils resign Parise for one year

[Phil The Thrill]

NEWARK, N.J. -- The New Jersey Devils have reached an agreement with high-scoring left-winger Zach Parise on a one-year, $6M contract.

In making the announcement late Friday afternoon, Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said the two sides were continuing to work on a multi-year deal.

The Devils had filed for arbitration with Parise in June. He would have become an unrestricted free agent in 2012 had he not reached a new deal.

Parise earned US$5 million last season, a year in which he was limited to 13 games and three goals by a knee injury that required surgery. He had been the catalyst of the Devils' offence the previous four seasons, scoring 146 goals.

Good signing, but it is interesting it is only for one year.

 

[Mr.Baller]

Lots of money for a one year contract ... Even tho is Parise ..

If he doesn't like their team this year, he'll either be traded at the deadline or test free agency

I dont see him re singing at the end of the season. It was a 1 year for a reason
