Zach Parise: our analysis
2023-24 season: 30 GP, 5 G, 5 A, 10 PTS, -7 +/-, 12:58 TOI. WAR 0.1 (339th of 608) · PAL 42, around average.
In 2023-24, Zach Parise, 42, posts a PAL Rating of 42 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of 0.1 ranks 339th among 608 regulars, in the bottom half.
His strengths: defense (64, above average), power play (62, above average) and penalty kill (62, above average). On the other hand, discipline (19, well below average) and offense (37, below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+0.4); his biggest cost: finishing (-0.5).
A slight dip from 2022-23, when his PAL was 48; his WAR, though, went from -0.3 to 0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 17 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
