#NYI #isles Zach Parise discusses past with Wild, future with New York Islanders https://t.co/zyiOOOGXRY
— New York Islander Fan Central (@NYIFANCENTRAL) September 10, 2021The eventual move to New York is happening two years after Parise was nearly traded to the Islanders in a midseason deal. "Without getting into too much detail, I thought I was (joining the Islanders) a couple years ago at the deadline. Now it’s become real life and I’m excited about it," he said. At age 37, much of Parise's motivation in signing with New York is the franchise's potential to win a Stanley Cup and prior relationships with several Islanders players.
