I don't think it's safe to say Parise is a better finisher and better around the net. With both players you could say we're best playing around the net. This season for Taylor Hall is the equivalent season as the same age as Parise's breakout year. That's the year when he put up 45 goals and 94 points, which was our best scoring team since like 2001 which is sad. Taylor was stuck playing with young talented players who didn't know what they were doing. parise was playing with some of the most smartest well rounded players that were in the league.
Parise's time here always seems positive to me. Yeah the early exits from the playoffs weren't fun. However, we had fun regular seasons especially 2006 and that 2012 playoffs with Parise as captain was unforgettable. A conference championship isn't a Stanley Cup but it's quite an accomplishment and something we fans should appreciate at least in hindsight, especially when knock the Rangers out in overtime of the ECF.
Hall PPG - .35
Parise PPG - .38
Parise was my favorite player post lockout, but I was dispointed he wasn't a perrennial 40+ goal scorer. I know it's easier said than done especially playing on some of the worst offenses in 30 years. I just had high hopes on him being the greatest American player or at least forward, delusions of grandeur I suppose. After the following season he scored 38 since then he's been a 25-29 goals guy which something the wild might be disappointed by. I love Parise but Hall is just better at everything in my opinion besides two way game and the better goal scoring will become much more evident by the end of next season or sometime next season. The only thing that can stop him is injuries.
Hall is just about to enter his prime and I fully expect 35+ goals year in year out, sprinkled with a 40 goal year once or twice, barring injury. When everything is said and done Hall will be the better goal scorer without a doubt, especially with high end prospects improving and a FA signing or one to two of those high end free agents, that's just by the end of this season or by some point this year. He's left an organization trending upwards and the went to one also trending upwards. This team is young and improving little by little, we got the goaltender, have to sure up the defense with an FA signing hopefully and hopefully Santini shows what he's capable of. Plus we need a top 6 right winger I have to check out the upcoming RW free agents this coming off season.. Alright I'm done blanking.
