Why would new jersey give up a second and a third for an overpayed player who is on a contract for 7 more years!

5* years. but its so they can be over cap floor for the years to come.

They will also be drafting high and making trades at the draft, so this likely wont be the lineup

They could get someone better and not so overpayed but ok. The only team this benefits is Carolina

Ya to make it a bit more fair, this Canes could take on a bit bigger of a contract as well

Maybe not this year, maybe not next year but the year after that might be more worth it. Got get the player when his salary is LOWER than his cap hit for it to be really worth it.

At the end of the day, there just isn't a very good option for Parise for anyone. NYI were trying to make it work by sending Ladd back with something else I presume and it didn't work out. Simply too much money and too much uncertainty right now for this much money being moved.
