gold star for USAHOF

8. Zach Parise

8. Zach Parise

Zach Parise was taken with the 17thOverall Pick in 2003, and the American Left Wing would debut for the New Jersey Devils two years later. 

Parise brought a scoring touch to the Devils, accruing 60-plus Points in 2006-07 and 2007-08, and grew that total to 94 in 2008-09.  That would be his best year for the Devils, where he was an All-Star Game participant, Second Team All-Star, and he was third in Lady Byng voting, eighth in Selke voting, and fifth for the Hart.  Parise had 82 Points the year after, but a torn meniscus held him to only 13 Games in 2010-11.  He played one more year in New Jersey, where he had a 69 Point campaign. 

Parise would sign with his hometown team when he joined the Minnesota Wild as a Free Agent in 2012.  As a Devil, Parise scored 410 Points with a .82 PPG.
