One of the Wealthiest NHL Players Appears to Be Down With The NHL
New York Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello made a rare offseason appearance for a press conference at UBS Arena, where he fielded questions from reporters.
One topic of interest was the status of veteran forward Zach Parise, a favorite of Lamoriello's. Despite being unsigned for the upcoming season, Parise typically secured one-year deals with Lamoriello just before training camp. Will history repeat itself? It seems unlikely. Lamoriello confirmed that Parise won't be joining the Islanders at training camp this fall, and the team won't extend a contract offer.
Isles insider Arthur Staple chimed in:
"To me, this sounds like Parise's NHL days are over. After all, Lamoriello sure seems like the only GM willing to give a contract to Parise these days."
With a career earnings total exceeding $110 million, Parise ranks among the NHL's wealthiest players.
