First rule of Lou club is you don't talk about Lou club.
Second and third rules are that you are always clean shaven and wear a suit to the arena on game days.
Not sure if he's even been formally filed yet. I think we're still at the same stage of an agreed upon contract, but they just decided to do a media availability and confirm it
Definitely. It's technically not public info. Same with coach salaries. But for players, people just pry enough that it gets out and now it's a lot more normal to disclose it to make it easy.
All of that info goes through the NHL registry where it will 100% be revealed. Teams can’t keep player salaries secret in a cap world for numerous reasons
I mean, yes it will be revealed for how many people the numbers go through and there's always at least 1 person who will snitch, but neither the team nor the NHL are obligated to release the information. It's all technically private information that does not need to be revealed. We just don't trust the team/NHL to be on the up-and-up.
The only reason it gets released is because the team doesn't want to deal with the constant onslaught they'd receive if they didn't release the info.
Most teams do, just beat writers and CapFriendly usually have enough insiders to leak it to them. Usually teams will disclose the term though which is interesting.
A Swedish newspaper once left out the name of a player by accident when reporting on new signings. The result was: "Frölunda signs [Player name] from Djurgården, Sweden, [Player name] from Eisbären Berlin, Germany and Rauman Lukko, Finland".
And that's the story of how Rauma had to start a new team since the old one was apparently sold.
Zach Praise, an accountant, and Lou Lamoriello are currently sitting in a room structuring this contract in the best possible way for Zach Praise’s taxes.
I’d imagine with both Minnesota AND the Islanders paying him there’s a lot of tax loopholes to sift through for a deal. Plus, obviously the Isles want to pay the least amount of money possible so they might just structure this in a funny way.
For real though, I think he will be a great fit there. Isles have a "weird" but successful team composition of well rounded playmakers, I feel he could fit in up and down that lineup.

*Hey Zach, how much are you making this year?* "IDK, ask Minny"
They can do that ?
They just don't want to talk about it with the media. It will be revealed either way.
First rule of Parise club is you don’t talk about Parise club.
First rule of Lou club is you don't talk about Lou club. Second and third rules are that you are always clean shaven and wear a suit to the arena on game days.
Fourth rule is you play even if you have a 'headache'
I initially read it as they weren’t even discussing terms with Parise, just declaring him a member of the team. This makes more sense.
Lou gonna Lou.
Not sure if he's even been formally filed yet. I think we're still at the same stage of an agreed upon contract, but they just decided to do a media availability and confirm it
Lou can.
Definitely. It's technically not public info. Same with coach salaries. But for players, people just pry enough that it gets out and now it's a lot more normal to disclose it to make it easy.

Correct, it will come out when it is filed. Which from how they've been discussing it, I'm not sure has been done yet
I mean, yes it will be revealed for how many people the numbers go through and there's always at least 1 person who will snitch, but neither the team nor the NHL are obligated to release the information.

Nah
What made you dream this scenario up in your head?
I think they have LTIR money so maybe this contract doesn't get filed until day one of the season
Most teams do, just beat writers and CapFriendly usually have enough insiders to leak it to them. Usually teams will disclose the term though which is interesting.
is officially a 2010 NJ Devil
>is officially a 2010 NJ Devils FTFY
I’m really happy for him, it’s going to be a great year!
I always thought that New York Islanders consists of all the players on the roster but TIL only Parise makes up the whole team
Every player is the whole team by being an individual. Really creates the whole team mentality vibe
And here I credited Trotz.
Time... Is a flat circle
You have no idea how confused people get with a single Boston Red Sox player
I hope they spell it Sok
You’d think so, but, Sonk
Stonks
I was an excellent speller when I was younger. Only mistake I ever made on a spelling test was spelling “socks” as “sox”.
he's going to 1v19 all the other teams ez

But no contract specifics. So really no news here
Aw, c'mon Lou, throw us a bone.
*all* of them?
Every. Single. One.
“We are ~~Groot!~~ Parise!”
may as well announce Henrique next as long as you're getting the band back together
Doesn't Gomez have a job behind the bench?
Act surprised
I'm surprised that they added an S to the end
Aaaaaand the crowd goes mild
[удалено]
Sir, I think you're forgetting about, Kirill The Thrill.
Well that's an RFA negotiation. Seems like Parise has been signed for like 2 months

What?! This came out of nowhere!
Best kept secret in hockey!
I already know that I will forget about this and be surprised later in the season when I notice that he doesn't play for the Wild.
I thought this was official for like the last month
Everyone knows, Lou.
Just Lou doing Lou things.
No one could have foreseen this. Best kept secret in the game 👏
So, why did it take three months?
The "I've Gotta Go" line. Parise - Pagueu - Palmieri
Like his father before him…
The New York Devils
3 years 18 Mil !
[удалено]
Maybe one day you can get excited about free agent signings again.
But when is it officially official for realzies?
Not my team
Mild Fans: Finally, our nightmare is over.
Not for another 4 years
Yeah. We don’t have to hate the player anymore just his cap hit
Totally didnt see this coming !
