Arbitration For Parise?

from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
Two months after the team’s season ended and nearly eight weeks since Lou Lamoriello said the Devils would do “everything we possibly can as expeditious as possible” to re-sign him, left wing Zach Parise said there is still “nothing” going on with his contract.
At this point, it appears inevitable that the Devils will file for team-elected arbitration before next week’s deadline, which will either be 5 p.m. Wednesday or next Friday if there is a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals. Filing for team-elected arbitration would prevent Parise from fielding offer sheets from other teams if he’s still unsigned at noon on July 1, when he’d become a restricted free agent.
When I asked Lamoriello today if that is indeed his plan, he would not discuss it.
“That’s something we’d never talk about,” he said.
