Ducks fan here currently editing the Wild on NHL 18. How's Parise's speed these days? I've watched highlights of his goals from last season. He looked quite slow in the early highlights, but seemed faster as the season went along. Is this accurate? It would make sense if he was dealing with injuries and was getting it healthier.

No clue. We haven't seen him since last year in the Playoffs. He's never really been a speed demon for the Wild, his tenacity and awareness makes up for lack of top end speed.

With the injury crisis, I'm wondering if putting Parise on IR would be a good move. According to Russo, anyone put on IR right now would miss 10 games. I mean, if they're saying he's "close", does that mean they expect him back in 3 or 4 games?
I think I would be fine sitting him for an extra 6-7 games if it means
a) we can call up another forward to play these next couple games, and
b) Parise gets that much more rest, and would hopefully be more fresh for the season ahead, once he shakes off the rust.

So for Parise to be put on ltir he must miss 10 games. So if he even tries to play a game, does that reset the clock?

I was wondering the same thing. At this point it might be the smart way to go. Give Parise more rest while allowing us to play with a full roster
If it's radioactive, that would be the best news I've made up all day. Nino and Coyle who? f*** all y'all, we've got radioactive Bees! Oprah just got back from plumbing the hellish depths of Chernobyl's carcass and brought you all pulsating neon souvenirs!

This was the excerpt from Russo's article:
I'm not sure if it's retroactive or not. But like @Wild11MN said, are they gauging Parise on just when he'll be able to stand upright on skates during a game? Because if so, I'd be totally fine putting him on that IR list, and giving him 10 games to rest it up and come back fully ready to go.

Nope. I mean, the dude came back from an OFFSEASON injured. And he can't make it through practices without having "setbacks". Would not surprise me at all if they come out and say he's just done.
I just don't know how long they can keep going with this whole "he's REALLY close to coming back!" scenario.

If it gets to the point where he feels the need to retire, then we could just put him on LTIR for the duration of his contract, right?

At least until that loophole gets closed in the next CBA. Then again, maybe they leave it open, as it seems to benefit both the player and the team. The player in that they get paid their full contract anyway, and the team by no longer having to deal with that particular cap hit.
Fine. Put him on LTIR then. It's just really starting to #$@! us over. He gets hurt in the offseason, gets hurt in practice....can you imagine what would happen with him in a real game setting? His whole body would explode on the ice.
Parise seems like the type of competitor that will play longer than he should, rather than the hang it up early when he's still good. He'll probably play until the doctors force him into a Pronger type retirement.

No, not if he's being told that he could be risking long term problems. It's getting to the point where I'm not sure I want him to play. Tough to watch a guy guy beating his head against the wall expecting a different outcome.
