Devils lock up Parise

Rich contracts for UFAs and the occasional offer-sheet from the Oilers may grab most of the summer headlines, but don't be fooled. The biggest coup of the off-season is the Devils resigning Zach Parise to a 4 year, $12.6M contract.

That's a steal. This kid is slick.

Parise doubled his point production last year and pepped up an otherwise lackluster NHL YoungStars Game, taking home MVP honors.

Parise will outperform this contract - guaranteed. Smooth move by Lou.
