Yet another article in which Zach Parise is eyed closely by various teams, including Detroit

Sigh. Whether New Jersey Devils captain Zach Parise will hit the open market as a free agent this summer is up for debate, but what is not is the fact that the NHL’s press corps is even more excited about the prospect of Parise signing with a team other than the Devils than the teams that would happily line up with Brinks trucks in tow to court Parise’s services already are. The Toronto Sun’s Mike Zeisberger continues to connect supposed dots between Parise and the Red Wings, among other teams, and while I’d love to see him come to Detroit, I’ll also readily admit that other teams would pay him more, with those “other teams” quite possibly, if not probably, including Parise’s current employer, the New Jersey Devils:

The ice isn’t the only place where Zach Parise is being shadowed consistently these days. While the Philadelphia Flyers continue to be frazzled and frustrated in their failed efforts to contain the diminutive, skilled captain of the New Jersey Devils, a pair of Hall of Fame eyes have been glued to Parise’s every spectacular move from way up in a press box.

Those professional peepers belong to Mark Howe, now the Detroit Red Wings director of pro scouting, who told QMI Agency he probably has seen Parise play “about 60, 61 times” over the past two years. And while Parise’s God-given skills make him one of the most talented forwards in the game, it is his will to succeed that impresses Howe the most.
