With Larsson probably making the team next season it should be pretty easy to lose one or 2 of them. And Zharkov, who is going to want a very good defensive forward with hands of stone? But yeah...I think Parise may be gone at the deadline regardless of the shape my boys are in.
Yes. Over time ALL salary problems disappear....well most of them anyway.

Here is what I do NOT want to happen: I do not under any circumstance want the Kings to go trade a certain backup goaltender for this guy or anyone else for that matter. With the guy as a potential UFA in July 2012 I just as soon wait for that...thank you very much. If they Kings need this guy come next summer then go after him. However, it is possible the Kings may not need him. I mean, who knows maybe a prospect will show promise or something. IMO, the team is fine as it is...wait and see it best at this point.
