Zach Parise - Getting highly overated by many on these boards. I will agree he has the potential to get 60-70 points in the old NHL....don't know how many in the new NHL but when people say his potential tops out around 80 or 90....that is just wrong. He can also be overpowered by a bigger center, good thing we also have Zajac, Gomez and Vrana who can play cewnter to take wear and tear off him.

I have to disagree with you both. Parise does not get overrated on these boards, if anything he's been underrated by many fans here. Duck fans will tell you that Getzlaf is better, Oiler fans will say they rather have Pouliot or Schremp and of course Philly fans will state that he can’t touch either Carter or Richards. If you want to say the Devil fans overrate him, that's fine and that's mostly due to the enthusiasm of Lou and Dave Conte have for this kid as well as his prior scouting reports and his play at the WJC and with Albany last year. He also brings other intangibles like character and leadership. Not many people believe he will one day lead the league in scoring, but rather he'll be a 1st or 2nd liner center as well as one day maybe being the Devils captain. There are some Philly fans who prefer Richards over Carter just because of Richards leadership skills. Zach brings more then just talent to the table if you believe Lou and Conte.
Jason, I know you like Zajac more then Parise, as a Devs fan, I hope they both have long and illustrious careers as Devils!
