Parse update

For those unfamiliar with the situation, Scott Parse, a Kings prospect, signed an amateur-tryout contract with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins yesterday. I wasn’t able to talk to Dean Lombardi, who is working back east this week, but a Kings official told me what everyone has pretty much assumed. Contract negotiations with Parse weren’t going well, so he signed a deal to get on the ice right away. It wouldn’t seem to be a great statement on Parse’s behalf, in terms of his optimism about getting a deal done with the Kings, but negotiations will continue. The Kings think it would be better for Parse to start in Manchester, but he doesn’t agree, so at some point someone will have to bend, or the Kings will lose Parse altogether.
