There will be a huge frenzy if Suter and Parise are still unsigned on July 1st.

Post all smaller signings here.

if zach and suter are both unsigned come july, you're right, it'll be crazy and exciting

[Devil Dan 56]

Zach and suter will be signed pretty quick. A lot of teams will be waiting to see where they go before making other decisions.

Regardless of whether or not we get zach i would like the devils to try to get penner. He wud be a great pickup for our third line

He's a lazy floater that had 2 seasons of crap play and showed up in the playoffs for a few games - you want to pay $4M+ for that?

[snartly]

I would not mind taking Jarret Stoll. He has great faceoffability, in which we all know the Devils need, and as he showed in the finals, he is a very good PK man. That is if Suter signs somewhere else.

2 Key Players I'd like to see signed .. Suter and Parise with the Devils, everything else follows.

its a long shot but obviously a dream come true

you guys are crazy. you expect to get parise and suter, then you need to address the who our goalie will be and fill in the RW holes. it wont happen.

i dont think i see i said anywhere that i expect that to happen. anyone that actually expects that is outside their mind

you obviously make the good point that we are at the point where we really need to think about our goalie but you can't deny that singing zach and suter would be a huge free agency

it would be awesome. im just saying at this point we have prospect goalies under contract.

[Bartholomew Hunt]

If im not mistaken i see harding on this list. Wouldnt mind having him split time with marty next year.

[Devil Dan 56]

A Zach resigning and the addition of a guy like Harding would be a pretty successful free agency. But I wouldn't be shocked to see moose back for another year either. It seems whenever we think it's time for a young goalie Lou signs a veteran stopgap (weekes, Danis, moose, etc)

[Kovys Puck]

I wouldn't mind seeing Jiri or Doan on this roster as well...

[ghdi]

One of Suter or Parise, if not both, will not make it to July 1st. Id not be surprised to see both stay put.

The names Im most intrigued by that I could see us bringing in realistically are Stoll and PA Parenteau. I've been a fan of trading for Stoll in the past and I think he'd be a good fit here. I just can't see it happening. Parenteau is more logical. I don't see Poni coming back, so we will probably replace someone on the offensive side.

If Sal isnt coming back, on the D side, I'd love to poach Carle from the Flyers, but he's going to get a raise from 3.4.

[Devilsfan118]

Zach and Suter, yeah that's a dream guys.

I'm curious to see where Suter ends up, personally

[Kovys Puck]

Parise, Stoll, Carle might not be out of reach. I agree gettin Suter will be nearly impossible with a resigning of Parise.

[ghdi]

Suter would be impossible to get with or without Parise. He wants to stay in the western conference.

Has he stated that?

Has he stated that?

Through "sources", theres a few articles if you search "Suter stay western conference".
