09:43 AM ET 07.08 | When NHL free agency opened on July 1, Zach Parise and Ryan Suter did not plan to be a package deal. Some teams certainly wanted both, and the pair had exchanged a few text messages. But at the start, Parise and Suter were working independently on finding teams to sign with. Parise would do his deal, and Suter would do his deal. For the first two days of free agency, there wasn't much conversation between Parise and Suter. Then, at about 1 a.m. on Tuesday, July 3, Neil Sheehy, the Harvard grad and former NHL player from International Falls, Minn., who represents Suter, got a telephone call from his client. Suter had just chatted with Parise about the possibility of the pair signing with Nashville, Suter's previous team. But Parise didn't want to go to the Predators. Parise in turn asked Suter if he would be willing to play for Parise's former team, New Jersey. But Suter said that didn't interest him. Then Suter and Parise discussed the possibility of signing long-term deals with Minnesota and trying to make the Wild a bona fide Stanley Cup contender.

If team owners had that kind of conversation, it would be called collusion. I see nothing wrong with it but just sayin'.

It's a good thing they chose against the Double Big Mac. That alone probably would've cost them $10 mil a piece.

......You could play with a perennial winner, with superstars like Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, with a coach who's won a Cup and been to three Finals, and instead you chose a mediocre roster, a losing record, and a coach that was in the AHL two years ago.... -Mitch Albom
