So true... I saw this retweeted and it made me laugh...

If Zach Parise hasn't talked to his fiancée in the past three days I think he has bigger problems.

I dont blame the Wild for going way over the top with money to Suter or Parise, it makes sense for their franchise. My question to you is if the Wild come up empty after trying to max out on these two, where does that leave the franchise and its ability to attract free agents?

They're not my team but I like that the Pirates are 8 games up on the Phillies with 1/8 of the payroll.

Fletcher has said that he has a plan B and that Plan B involves the trade market. The Wild need NHL talent but how much of the prospect pool do they give up? Time will tell what happens, but look for the wild to be active in the off season.

You're loaded with youngsters, they just need someone to come in and sell some tickets while they wait.

I'd rather don't say...

but anyway...there are a few names we could gamble on...

A.Kostytsin for instance...P.Mueller...K.Huselius... BUT ONLY IF WE REALLY NEED IT

Off course Doan would be our first target....Sullivan probably has a chance to stay as well..

If Parise signs elsewhere that is your winger option.

They do need 1 more starter, IMO. Hopefully Karstens is getting into form after a couple more starts. Tabata got shipped to AAA Indy today. They are pretty upset with him

True, but they have a rep of doing that to someone who is ready. Making them wait, just a tad longer. The funny part will be when they call up Marte INSTEAD of Tabata. Rumor has it that Marte will be right after the All Star Break

Michael Russo ‏@Russostrib

talked to Zach Parise at MSP. He says he has not made a decision and he and his fiancée will talk today. "that has not started." #MNWild
Retweeted by Seth Rorabaugh



"...has not started." Are you kidding? Apparently they don't have phone service in Minnesota. Either that or Zach wasn't sure if he could afford the cost of an international phone call between the US & Canada.

I really like Sullivan's game. Not a "sexy" option but someone that does have the speed and high hockey IQ to play on one of the top 2 lines.

Just threw A.Kostitsyn's name out there because I thought he would be like a Fedotenko type of guy (but with less intensity, more firepower). If we were to sign for CHEAP, cool.

Seems like the guy is conflicted, no need to hate on him, IMO
