    I donā€™t know how to feel about this.

  2. BoneyardBill

    I used to hate Zach on the Mild so Iā€™m conflicted.

  3. goavsgo1988

    I think a larger move is coming and Parise is cheap depth. He did just score 21 goals last year

  4. Used to be a great player. Hope he can do that here. Could be a great 2nd/3rd line guy. This tells me Nuke is gonna be gone for a bit though.

  5. somwhereinthebetween

    Assuming it’s close to league minimum, there isn’t really a downside. Lekky is in kind of a weird spot in the lineup so it give him someone else to play with

  6. Big fan of this deal. Cheap, no risk, good depth. Hopefully he fits

  7. Someone explain to me why this isnā€™t dumb.Ā 

  8. porkchopespresso

    Well, I didnā€™t want him, not excited about it at all, but just give me about an hour and Iā€™ll talk myself into it.

  9. Hungry_Definition450

    Used to hate this guy now I love him. See him being Darren Helm level clutch for us in the playoffs.

  10. Square_Saltine

    Those bastards did it! Iā€™m absolutely fine with this acquisition and trust the Avs front office more than any of you people

    Also guys imagine us winning the cup again and the mild paying this man 7 million to do it

    Huge fan of this deal. Middle 6 winger who will eventually push Kermit and Kiviranta out of the lineup. From everything Iā€™m hearing about Parise, heā€™s a gym rat and hockey fanatic and at 39 years old heā€™s hungry for that cup. The Avs wouldnā€™t have brought him on if they thought he was slow and out of shape. He brings a veteran presence with over 1,000 NHL games under his belt.

    Also: Parise is a left wing, Kovalenko is a right wing. Coincidenceithinknot

  12. IChurnToBurn

    I like it. Hard working player who still has some left to give. Cheap and free. Adds depth to the lineup.

    He isnā€™t the 2C that we need, but that might not happen considering the lack of cap space and the need to add a reliable 2nd goalie to the roster.

  13. Big_Liability

    Why

    In reality this helps fourth line depth. Itā€™s just like the Helm addition (that worked out really well for us)

  14. anemic_royaltea

    I honestly donā€™t know why everybody seemingly dislikes the guy, skilled vet for free depth, itā€™s the Wild still paying him, seems like a win win. Scratch him if he canā€™t hang.

  15. CAPT_AVALANCHE

    Scored more goals last year than Kivirantas entire career. Huge upgrade for bottom 6 if the money is right and if he hasn’t lost it. Word is he’s a rink rat and a gym rat so fingers crossed. Also wants that Cup

  16. Odd_Philosopher1712

    Well, we HAVE to move RyJo now

    Edit: how much though? If its not min then its gonna get wild

  17. Danny_Jack

    Being reported as 825K for those who want to know

  18. Initial reaction: What? I ā€¦ thought he still played for the islanders. Butā€¦ maybe heā€™ll be good?

    Edit: if he scores more for us than he did against us Iā€™ll be okay.

  19. tdestito9

    Iā€™ve been thinking we cannot win it all without Landy, but I think Pariseā€™s hunger for a championship is going to really help

  20. EdDantes21

    Itā€™s weird but he seems to be a good fit for the 4th line. Basically the leftover Tatar money. Address backup goaltender and possibly 2C and weā€™re good baby

  21. Unlucky_Internal9686

    Now letā€™s go get Dumba and Pavelski šŸ™„
