Parise, 21, is facing high expectations. The son of former NHLer J.P. Parise, he figures prominently in the Devils' immediate plans. A playmaker who can score goals, his resume includes a successful career at the University of North Dakota and an MVP performance for the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the 2004 world junior tournament in Finland.

"Anything short of making the team will not be a success for me," Parise said yesterday from Grand Forks, N.D. "Anything less than that would be a disappointment for me. I'm coming into camp with the idea of earning a spot on the team."

A very good article on Zach.

I can't wait to see how Zach Parise does at Team USA camp in early September. I belive he will be joined there by Gomez, Langenbrunner, Rafalski and Martin.

One thing that I noticed is that Parise will earn $925,000.
