Quoting: Radu47
Odd to see Jones retained require not much to unload but Parise retained needing so much apparently I don't quite get the disparity there
Especially given both teams situations
Jones is so bad he's not even worth lg minimum
Because Jones would likely return to great form on a team with excellent defense like NSH. He'd also be in a backup role, which is where he performs best. And, if he doesn't work out, he's way cheaper to buyout.
Parise has 4 years left on his contract after this szn ends, which means if he were to be bought out it would be for 50% of the full value for eight (8!) years. Yikes! MIN has an extra 1st this year, so it's practically a no-lose situation for them if they have a willing trade partner.
EDIT: I just checked out Parise's buyout schedule and it's even more brutal than I first thought! 2.3M, 6.7M, 7M, 7M, then 833k for the rest of the term. All those big numbers occurring during the flat cap era! Oof McGoof!
