Honestly...if he can get McDermid off the ice this is a win. ANY useful minutes is better than nothing, and he is a locker room guy. I don't hate it.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

He's getting more from Minnesota to play for Colorado, than he is from Colorado to play for Colorado

Lou is not going to be happy when he wakes up

 

[Foppa2118]

Almost like the Avs were pissed that Russo leaked he was gonna sign after the All Star Break, so they just signed him early out of spite.

 

[the_fan]

I hope he still has 15 to 20 goals in him

 

[LOFIN]

No performance bonuses? Nice job CMac.

I don't mind this signing, but CMac better view this as more of a cherry on top. That 2nd line C spot needs to be solved and it better be something better than Monahan. And maybe a depth D-man? And that backup goalie...

 

[GeoRox89]

Parise winning a Cup with us when he and the Wild went nowhere would be so amazing

Also can we please go back to calling him Pari-zay and not Pari-zee?

 

[BrickNHL]

One of the better players of his generation. Going to be pretty cool to watch him even if he’s not even close to the same player

 

[dahrougem2]

Always good to add high IQ players. Hope he still has something left in the tank.

I’d say the D is set unless they trade Byram or Girard which I really don’t see happening. Avs main needs are 2C and a back up goalie, and maybe a 4C but we can live with Olofsson

 

[Foppa2118]

This is basically the Tatar replacement. Possibly an upgrade, since he's a PK'er, and a better fit in the bottom six.

His intensity and energy will help the Avs during those rough patches in games too. Another high level competitor.

You just know he's got some big playoff goals left in him too.

I'm never saying parizee

 

[HockeyFan100]

Nice!!! Happy with this

 

[GeoRox89]

If he wins a Cup in an Avs sweater I’ll call him His Holiness Supreme Leader of the Universe if he wants, until then it’s zay not zee

Such a good lineup except the full on mega cruise ship anchor on the 2nd line

 

[LOFIN]

Imagine that, Wild are basically paying for Parise to play for us

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I like this

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Pretty happy with this, I think he’ll be a welcome addition for the locker room and on the ice. He’s the exact type that Bednar loves

 

[BobRossColton]

Imagine that, Wild are basically paying for Parise to play for us

Isn't he earning 14m this season and next?

 

[LOFIN]

Isn't he earning 14m the next two seasons

What? No. Unless he wins the lottery or something.

Cap hit =|= what the player makes (salary/signing bonuses)

MacKinnon makes 16.5 million this year, but his cap hit is 12.6
