The free agent marketplace will open shortly.Potential unrestricted free agents Zach Parise, Ryan Suter and Martin Brodeur are the headliners, along with Blue Jackets winger Rick Nash – a widely coveted power forward that could finally move on.Suter is open to returning to Nashville, but he’ll need to get paid. He scored a career-best 46 points (seven goals, 39 assists) during the walk year of his contract and he knows the supply of All-Star defensemen in the market does not meet the demand for this commodity. The Dennis Wideman contract in Calgary spoke to this fact.Similarly, Parise is open to returning to New Jersey. But as the top impact scorer in the market, he knows that teams are ready to commit staggering sums for his services. The Devils made one last push to sign him before the market opened.But Parise's demands for a heavily front-loaded contract could be a deal-breaker for the Devils.Brodeur has been a Devils fixture in goal, but he is at least curious about what oth...

With NHL free agency underway, several teams will be salivating at the opportunity to sign Ryan Suter to a long-term deal.

I just heard the crazy dollars being thrown at Zack Parise and Ryan Suter respectively by other teams with more cap space have not deterred the Hawks pursuit of either. This is from a great source.
I'm not sure how or when the Hawks got into the Parise Action, but I did know, as I have shared for a while with all of you, that they had long coveted Suter...

Well, the Wings are done for the day. Safe to say I'm surprised by a couple of the guys we got. Not too surprised about the Gustavsson signing. Happy about all of them in a way. I guess. I wonder what it must have been like to be in the Red Wings front office today. I imagine it was a bit crazy. Actually, I imagine it was a lot crazy. So crazy I decided to make a story about...

from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune, The Wild can’t offer Zach Parise the chance to play alongside Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin the way the Pittsburgh Penguins can. It can’t offer Zach Parise a rich history of winning the way the Detroit Red Wings can.
What the Wild can offer the New Jersey Devils captain and Minnesota native is a chance to play in front of friends and...

I heard from a couple of sources late yesterday.
First, I would not expect a Niklas Hjalmarsson trade today, but that possibility is not off the table. The Hawks will make an attempt to land Ryan Suter on Sunday. If they succeed, Hjalmarsson will likely be dealt in short order.
That said, where until yesterday I felt the odds of the Hawks' geographical...
