Parise wants to remain a Devil; "No way" he'll sign with Rangers

Parise is a perfect fit in New York, and having the Rangers involved in the bidding process can at the very least serve to drive up the price on other teams.

Devils captain Zach Parise repeated today his desire to re-sign with the team and said even if he does hit the unrestricted free agent market on July 1, there is “no way“ he’d sign with the rival Rangers.
