hey jay, parise isn't a free agent until july, right? so the devils are the only ones allowed try and make a deal before then?
Correct, the Devils have exclusive negotiating rights to Parise until midnight ET on July 1. The only way another team can negotiate with him before then is if they trade for his negotiating rights.
thanks
:-SS :-SS i hope they have enough money to resign him

This is like a kick in the nuts. Seriously, I feel like throwing up and crying...
If we didnt get that faggot shitty retart fucking goalie we could have kept all these players and had the Giroux Jags Hartnell line and fucking, ugggghhhh fuck you Chris Pronger fuck you. Oh lets give the locker room over to Pronger cause he doesnt get along with the young guys who get madd pussy and party once in a while. FIREPAULHOLMGREN!
I'm happy for Gagne, Seeing Richards and Carter lifft the cup last night I almost got sick, it was my dream for so many years to see them do that, in a Flyers uniform, instead we give it all away for a dipshit sucky goalie and nowhere to be found Pronger. Swole, mad swole. :-S
ESPN doesn't give a fuck about hockey because they don't have a contract with the NHL anymore. They haven't had one since the last lockout. So all you get for NHL coverage on ESPN is Barry fucking Melrose, who was so good at coaching in the NHL he didn't even last half a season with his last job.
tl;dr Watch NBC Sports if you want hockey coverage lol.
The nba finals are always starting when the NHL is done. In previous years I purposely watched to see the highlights and it's lays been the top story, today 35 mins in <_> fuck Lebron James.
It looks like a decision on the future of Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom won't come until next month.
Holmstrom told the Free Press on Monday that he spoke to general manager Ken Holland and "they're going to decide (in the) beginning of July what's going to happen."
Holmstrom, 39, is mulling whether he wants to play another season, but this indicates that if the Wings want him, he'd be open to returning. His wife and kids want him to play; Holmstrom's concern is that he has a lot of hard mileage on his body after 15 seasons, especially his knees.
Coach Mike Babcock made it clear at the end of the season that at this point in his career, Holmstrom's role would be to help the power play and otherwise make do with fourth-line minutes, the latter of which only amounts to a few shifts a period. It's harder for a veteran to get his legs warmed up right away, but it was pretty much the role Holmstrom played this past season; 10 of his 11 goals came during man advantages. Whenever Holmstrom hasn't been available for the power play, Babcock has lamented Holmstrom's absence, saying the net-front presence isn't the same.
Since Holmstrom hasn't decided what he wants to do -- or rather, that he wants to retire -- there's no harm for the Wings in putting off making a decision. Holmstrom is a pending unrestricted free agent, but there's zero chance he plays elsewhere. The Wings can see how things shake out during the opening days of free agency. Currently, they have 11 forwards under contract for next season, counting Gustav Nyquist, and the team wants to re-sign Darren Helm and Justin Abdelkader, who are eligible for restricted free agency. Overtures have been made toward pending unrestricted free agent Jiri Hudler, but he's expected to test the market.
The Wings want to add a top-six forward via free agency, and could decide some of their own players, like Cory Emmerton and Jan Mursak, don't fit into the future. Regarding Holmstrom, both sides have the luxury to see what happens in early July, then go from there.
