08:19 AM ET 05.29 | 'Tis the season in Detroit for offseason conversations about the future. It's rare when a day passes without the names of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter being part of my conversation. ... Ever since the Red Wings were bounced from the playoffs, they've made it clear that changes are going to be made. To what extent depends on Parise and Suter. The Wings have also debated this question: If they had to choose between Parise and Suter, which one would they sign? It's apparent that as much as they want Parise, the Wings covet Suter. A defenseman of Suter's caliber on the open market at 27 years old is unprecedented. A leader on and off the ice, every facet of his game is excellent. He does it all.

Championships start with good defense. Take Suter.

Nope, the Winnipeg Sun has already passed judgment on the Finals as the "Worst" in 20 years. We would much rather talk endlessly about UFAs and the draft and Burkie, etc.

*sarcasm most assuredly intended*

But why did we have to wait 5 days for the Finals to start? A mistake, IMO

Suter signing with the Wings would seem to be a fait accompli.

I think it was. Just curious, is the league going to wave the salary cap so the Wings will be able to restock their team with all the top FA talent?
