Teams working the free agency while Ryan Suter, Zach Parise still unrestricted -NHL Update
It is not every day that a player becomes an unrestricted free agent, so taking all options on the table into consideration and choosing the best one is definitely the only way to go. Ryan Suter and Zach Parise have shown their patience when it comes to
dealing with multiple offers, but how long will they last before choosing one is still uncertain.
New Jersey Devils’ captain, Zach Parise, and Nashville Predators’ elite defenseman, Ryan Suter, have both not ruled out returning to their original teams but at the moment, some offers might be too tempting to refuse just now.
Jaromir Jagr made a surprising move on Tuesday, July 3, 2012, by signing on with Dallas Stars to a one-year, $4.55 million contract, which was highly unexpected as the franchise was never seen to be in the race to acquire him at all.
"Even at 40, he's still a difficult guy to contain. He's still as good as anyone in the League at using that big body down low. He keeps himself in tremendous shape. He knows how much he needs to play in order to be successful and how much is too much. I
think he's going to be a really good fit with our group," Dallas Stars general manager, Joe Nieuwendyk, said.
New Jersey Devils have also re-signed veteran superstar goalie, Martin Brodeur, along with bringing back playoff sensation, Bryce Salvador. Now, only Zach Parise remains to be the top Devils’ player who is still an unrestricted free agent and is believed
to be getting offers left and right from not only New Jersey but also from Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild and Chicago Blackhawks.
Suter’s future with Nashville Predators is still in doubt since he is being looked at as the replacement to retired Detroit Red Wings captain, Nicklas Lidstrom, and could finally be getting that leading role he has always wanted.
For a number of teams, Parise and Suter have hindered their offseason performance since the two players are just unable to make up their minds as quick as general managers would want them to. But since the question is about the next years of their careers,
patience is the need of the hour.
