Could be Parise’s last game with the Wild..

 

[57special]

Speaking of which, shouldn't he be playing tonight? Sure would like Fiala and/or Kap to be rested, too. Wasn't Fiala hurting a bit?

I'd assume he will be, I just haven't seen anything about lineup changes yet.

If he doesn't, uh... guess that meeting didn't go so well.

 

[GuerinUp]

i cant imagine that meeting going well. how often do you hear of things like this? definately a primadonna move by a primadonna player

Parise called the meeting?

 

[GuerinUp]

Parise called the meeting?

thats the way i read it, that parise and his agent arranged the meeting.

 

[Uberdachen]

GMZP making the difficult decisions.

How is having a meeting behind closed doors with your boss a prima donna move?

 

[Wild11MN]

A competitive player asking about his future role on the team when he has 4 years left on his deal is considered some dramatic locker-room poisoning move? There's nothing wrong with it at all.

 

[Wild11MN]

How will the semis work for playoffs this year without conferences? Are they just seeding the remaining four teams based on points, or do two specific divisions play each other?

A player needing a meeting about his role with the team a week before the playoffs start, is most definitely an asshole move.

complaining about your ice time and standing on a team with your agent involved when youre just not as good as other players on the team is a prima donna move. a pros pro would just keep his mouth shut accept his position is due to play, and keep working.

and a team distraction

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Do better.

and a team distraction

If they're distracted by something like that, we have a really fickle team.

Basically exactly what I was about to type. I agree with the above point that the timing could have waited though.

 

[Uberdachen]

Do we know he wasn't meeting to complain that Brodin was openly speculating in the locker room about the return/cost of a potential Parise deal?

 

[HotDish]

Maybe we can use his salary to turn him into a hockey machine.

Nvm the "Like" button, I want a "Love" button!

We definitely can't definitively say that JONAS BRODIN isn't a NARCISSISTIC EGOTISTICAL LOCKER ROOM CANCER imo

i can however say whining to a coach and gm with your agent present, regardless of the reason days before playoffs start, is a bad look. and shows how much more highly you view yourself than the team as a whole.

Do we even know that’s what he did? Could just be getting on the same page, figuring out what he has to do to get back in the lineup, etc.

why would his agent be there then?

 

[Digitalbooya]

why would his agent be there then?

To determine if the way back into the lineup is unreasonable? To determine if it’s in his clients best interest to waive his NMC and be traded. To determine if Parise should retire?

People praise how Evason/Guerin handled the situation. I would lmfao if it backfired and Parise retired. Not because I would enjoy it, but because of the meltdown that would happen on here.
