2012 Offseason

While both of the trades the Pens made were expected. And Martin is sure to follow ASAP. But I never thought that they were going to do what they are with the money saved. Going after Parise AND Sutter is sick. Apparently, Crosby sat in Parise's suite the entire cup final and has his family and him convinced to come to PGH and I never knew they were best friends either. And apparently Shero was really close with Sutter and his family in Nashville, doesn't hurt that his cousin is the 3rd line center now either.

Crazy.

Did Crosby and Parise go to that St. Mary high school together?

There's so many teams going for Parise and Sutter, it'll be pretty hard for one team to get them both.

I wonder what's going on with NJ, they're in money trouble.

Yeah, they did go to that school together, not sure if at the same time though, pretty sure Parise was gone when he got there.

The word is Sutter is the #1, and they will throw cash at him, so if he signs, maybe Parise will pull a Hossa and take less money to give the cup a go with the Pens due to the friendship.
