Zach Parise can still score a lot of goals for a very cheap salary cap hit

Signing a player like Zach Parise would be a big boost for a lot of teams in the NHL. He plays the game incredibly hard and brings some offensive flare with him.

Last season with the New York Islanders, he scored 21 goals and didn’t even make $1 million against the salary cap. That type of production could be had again if a team were to bring him in.

Parise has scored 429 goals and 450 assists for 879 points. He has also been a pretty good defensive winger in his day but he isn’t someone that is going to save the day on that front in what would be his age-39 season.

Signing him would give anyone a good player to add to either their third or fourth line. He would bring a ton of energy to the bottom six and score some big goals. Plenty of teams would love to add a guy like that to the mix as the hard days of the season are fast approaching.
