Stars sign Parish

Dallas on Monday agreed to terms with free-agent winger Mark Parrish on a one-year contract, according to co-general manager Les Jackson.

Parrish is expected to take a physical today with the Stars. If he passes, he will join the NHL roster and probably play Friday against the Anaheim Ducks.

"It's a deal that we think can work for us," Jackson said. "It's one we can afford, and one we think is worth trying."

Parrish, who was bought out of the remaining three years of a five-year contract in July by the Minnesota Wild, is expected to receive $5.5 million from that deal.

His deal with the Stars will pay him $500,000 at the NHL level and $100,000 at the minor-league level.

Well, we'll see what happens. If he returns to the form when he was with the Islanders then this is a steal, if not, the Stars don't lose out on much.

Hat trick in his 1st game. We could use that.

I saw that. Not a bad start with a new team.
