Uncle Lou pitches woo...Parise named Captain!!!

New Jersey Devils name six-year veteran Zach Parise captain - ESPN New York

"It's well-deserved," goaltender Martin Brodeur said. "He's the future of the organization and he's grown to become a dominant player."

How will he stack up against other Devils captains?

"Well, he's got to stay here, that's the bottom line," Brodeur said with a laugh. "That's how we're going to know how good he is for [New Jersey] as captain."

And if you didn't think the full court press was on to keep him...start making other free agent plans.

Good. So maybe we can avoid all of the Parise to the Kings garbage. I'm not particularly interested anyway....

It'll look good on his free agency résumé :sarcasm:

Tain't funny McGee...:yo:

Glad to hear it, though I wouldn't make any assumptions until the ink is dry on a new long-term contract. Being named captain and saying all the right things didn't keep Kovalchuk with the Thrashers/Jets and it remains to be seen whether it will keep Weber in Nashville. Hope they get it done though.

I will make no such plans and will spend the season lusting after him.

Kings to add another former captain to their roster next summer?
