There's nothing to suggest that, so I don't know why you'd even throw that out there.
Why not throw an excelling player (Staal) with two struggling players (Parise and Pominville) to see if he can ignite them?

Because that's always been the knock on him and Suter, that they can be demanding about whom they play with. We assume it's different with Boudreau, but who knows.
Might I also remind you that conjecturing on a message board about our currently unnecessary $9 million assistant captain while the team is on an 11-game winning streak is a really good spot to be in, right now?

I think that is a gross exageration - Suter once made a comment about playing with a RHD. Parise? Refresh my memory.

Agree with the latter part.
But yeah, as others have said, I don't think there's anything to that about Parise other than some posters who make up their own theories from time to time.

I for one assume Parise had a say in the line-up just like he obviously HIGHLY recommended the addings of Porter, Carter and Pominville. The locker room was a mess under Yeo. Laughable when news that the vets were proposing trades with each other. Think the main reason to bring back Stewart was to bond them back together.
Cheers. We won 11 straight!

Some people appear to be having some severe amnesia about major topics of conversation from last season 
Funny how certain "common knowledge" things (at least among we rumor-starved message board denizens, of course) can change so drastically... but if that's the price of massive winning streaks and great overall team play, I more than accept the tradeoff

Oh man I do remember that, what depressing times.
And Parise bringing in a guy outside of the team to coach them on the PP before season began. That soured Yeo and he did admit it bothered him even though he denied it before. The locker was so dysfunctional last year.
I am so glad that is over
Is this lie still being perpetuated? He (individually) worked with a skills coach in the offseason. Also cleared it with Yeo beforehand.

Parise had nothing to do with Pominville. They'd never been team-mates in their life before Pominville was traded for.
If Parise was advocating us to trade for someone from Buffalo, it would have been Stafford.
Yeah, I don't see Stevens being bossed around, either. Even Anderson has been around the block a few times as a good NHL'er....don't see him getting pushed around. The trouble with the old players is usually that they are stubborn and have to " win" every confrontation....no sign of that yet with this staff.
