Well twice might have been hyperbole :P What does Parise do better? It's all about his competitive drive, his consistency, his desire, his leadership. Parise is a warrior. Goes out there every shift trying to be a difference maker and often succeeding at that. Okposo is more of a passenger. I guess to use GranteedEV's terminology Parise is a driving player on his line and team.

Of course Parise seems overpaid as almost every UFA does.

Okposo is going to be way overpaid this summer. Rather go after Eriksson, Lucic, Backes, McGinn.
