I said it this morning and @TrueBlueGED said it earlier too, just seems like Botterill wants to make enough noise to say he tried just to give himself enough rope to go through the offseason and do whatever he really wants to do
That is interesting.
Ladd, 34 with 3 years left at 5.5M
Parise, 35 with 5 years left at 7.5M
Ladd has only palyed 26gp last year, and 2 this year. Seems like a prime candidate for LTIR?
Parise has 21-16-37 in 61gp
The fact that they want him makes me mad we didn't get him. At the very least I hope we tried; this better be an over-payment from Carolina
What would this package look like for us?
They're not even in the top 3 in their division. They're a contender in the sense that they're in the playoffs, but I'd be shocked if they made the Finals, let alone won it
