Zach Parise is reportedly not interested in discussing a contract extension at this critical stage of the NHL season. Parise will be an unrestricted free agent if the Devils can't re-sign him before July 1. One alternative is to trade him before the Feb. 27 trade deadline, but that seems unlikely given that the Devils will probably make the playoffs. New Jersey has a 31-19-4 record, which is currently good enough for the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.
