I don’t know who I’d take, but I think I would lean towards Parise for the reasons others have mentioned.
To play
devil’s advocate 
though, Parise and Kovalchuk both have similar international hardware, so you can’t really say one Kovalchuk hasn’t won anything.
Parise has:
Gold – World Under 18
Gold – World Juniors
Silver – Olympics (scored the tying goal to send it to overtime – very clutch)
Kovalchuk has:
Gold – World Under 18
Silver – World Under 18
*2 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze – World Championships
Bronze – Olympics
*Granted the World Championships is a shit tournament.
But yeah, Parise would come cheaper, and is a two way player and his dad was Canadian
