Devils for sure.
Sure, he spent more time in Minny and he and Suter will always be remembered for their crazy contracts there (and the buyouts), but he started with the Devils and that's where his career peaked. Aside from Ovechkin he was arguably the best left winger in the game for a couple of years.
Unfortunately he was never quite the same after the knee injury. I think he'd eventually be a HHOF'er if not for that. I love that he's still hanging in there though, and wish he'll somehow win a cup before he calls it quits.

Parise was quietly a very good/great player for a bit of time in New Jersey. Seemed like his knee got in the way of an awesome career

I associate him with the Wild, but I associate him being good with the Devils.

I agree, but he had an excellent career. He still managed over 400 goals and 800 points which is better than the vast majority of players who have a career in the NHL.
But, with perfect health I think he could have eclipsed 500 goals and 1,000 points.
