I would have bet my life after the draft Parise would be a Pen and Suter a Red Wing.

0 for 2...

Ric Flair: To be the man, you have to beat the
Jim Ross: OH MY GOD, that's Ryan Suter's music - Not like this, OH MY GOD, not like this...

Business just started picking up in the NW division, folks...

And with Parise signing with the Wild. Lou says screw you Parise

I would have thought the Wild wouldnt have had to overpay ... Im with Botchford ... I wanna see if Suter can be a star without Weber

Man oh man - What a day to be a Wild fan. Esls must be doing the happy dance.

Welcome to Minnesota, let's hope that doofus behind the bench doesn't ruin both of your careers...

13 years...... whoa.
that's going to be a nice rivalry when Weber comes to vancouver next year.

Is now a good time to take a second look at division realignment? Maybe Minnesota should move to the Central Division.

Source says ``close to $100 million'' for Parise

thought he was largely cheering for the referees.

He's a Wild duck fan (doesn't like those caged ducks), but yeah, he also has a soft spot for the zebras...

Suter and 5 pylons on D? Yeo behind the bench? Heatley still on the roster? You don't want them moving for a while.

Damn both are too the Wild, didn't see that coming esp with the $90 mil 13 year deal from the Wings. Either way the NW just got interesting for sure.

The Chief over at Kukla's Korner seems a tad bitter...

This isn’t Pittsburgh. It’s not Chicago or San Jose. It’s Minnesota. And it’s where Zach Parise and, more humorously in a sad way, Ryan Suter will languish for the next 7, 10, 13 years.

Family Circle and Oprah, the Lifetime Channel and “hockey-mad” Minnesota can point to this as a wondrous decision made by two men who want to be friends forever and enjoy the solitude that a small market affords them. Family first. Friends always.

Cupless.

What a flawed decision. We’re going to hear about a pipeline of talent coming to Minneapolis. They’ve been building it for years and years. It’s right there on the cusp, ready to explode and join Parise and Suter. Contenders, by god. Contenders.

And happy. Happy together in Minny, where the expectations are low, the glare is dull and the Cup shall never visit.

It’s funny. Were this the Pens, it would be disgusting. Heartbreaking. Chicago? Terrifying.

It’s Minnesota. And that’s literally funny.

This is going to be interesting, to see the steps made by legitimate hockey men to kiss these two asses. Mike Ilitch flew to Madison and came away with nothing. That makes me sick. Who the hell is Ryan Suter to turn down Mike Ilitch in favor of…Craig Leipold? Your call, big boy. Own it. Live with it.

Cuplessly.

Next Kenny? Semin. Doan. A deal for Yandle.

Money to spend. Holes to fill.

I don’t blame Holland. Not one bit. These two ladies wanted to play together in a quiet patch of daisies. They got what they wanted.

Minus the Cup that never mattered.

Zach Parise is a great player but I don't think that he or Suter are $100 million players. Just my :twocents:

I wonder if Craig Leipold (former owner of the Preds and current owner of the Wild) had some influence in luring Suter to Minnesota...
