My knee jerk reaction goes something like this:
Mark Parrish is a veteran scorer with a right handed shot and we need that.
His defensive side has much to be desired, but at a low, low price we can fill holes with him on the offense.
He’s played with Mike Modano before in All-Star games so at least there’s some chemistry already there.
He says he’s fit and hungry to play so that works for me.
I do feel that we needed to look more on the defensive side of things because scoring isn’t necessarily our biggest concern.
I’m interested to see which line he’ll be on. I see him fitting well with Brad Richards more than on Mike Modano’s line, but he could do well on either.
I guess I’m still waiting to get Jere Lehtinen and Sergie Zubov back before a real assesment of the Dallas Stars can be made, but dealing with key injuries has to be a big concern for a team that was picked pre-season to be a Stanely Cup contender. Maybe this is the kind of spark that this team needs. We’ll see.
