Many reports are saying Zach has signed with the Islanders. If the rumors are true, Parise coming to the Islanders is like the prodigal son coming home. He is a perfect fit for three reasons.
1. Leadership
The Isles really need a leader with some talent. Parise will become an instant leader. He will do everything that is asked of him and more. Parise will help Barzal develop his game to become a complete player. No one can question his heart. He may not be the same player, but he has the same spirit.
2. Isles Powerplay
Zach Parise can still stick handle with the best of them. His stickhandling skills will not diminish with age. Zach will be a welcome addition to a powerplay that lacks skill and imagination. Barzal will become twice as effective.
3. Added offense in the bottom six
The Isles lack offensive punch. Zach brings the offensive playmaker the Isles so desperately need. Zach and Pageau on the third line will be a nice touch; I look forward to seeing them work together.
Conclusion
Zach Parise is an excellent addition to the Islanders. He will become a fan favorite this season and just might be the missing piece of the puzzle.
