Scott Niedermayer. Brian Rafalski (and to a lesser extent), Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta. The consensus seemed to be that their captain, Zach Parise, who led the Devils to the Stanley Cup Finals this past Spring, was weighing lucrative offers from many teams, but that it would come down to either returning to New Jersey or heading back home to Minnesota, as Devils GM Lou Lamoriello indicated to the Bergen Record's Andrew Gross. Parise's choice of returning to the Twin Cities on Wednesday, sent reverberations through the hockey world when he signed with his hometown Wild along with former Nashville defender Ryan Suter; both players inked 13-year, $98 million contracts, as first reported by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Michael Russo thus crushing the hopes of Pittsburgh, Detroit, Philadelphia and countless other teams that had their eye on both players. (Parise is said to have received offers from "16-17 teams," according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. Suter was highly coveted by Detroit in the hopes of starting the process of replacing Nicklas Lidstrom, but the Wings lost out on both Suter and Matt Carle, who isn't an impact player defensively. Suter brings his consistently solid numbers to Minnesota but the question will abound as to how he will produce without Shea Weber by his side. Suter will be Minnesota's stopper now while also running their power play. He isn't a goal-scoring defender like Weber, but he can eat a lot of minutes and has great vision. Suter had a career-best 46 points last season but has not cracked seven goals in the league since his second full season, where he notched eight. Parise will slot right in to the top left wing spot for the Wild with Mikko Koivu as his centerman, where he will give the Wild the same outstanding work ethic he gave in New Jersey. Parise's feet are always moving and he has the capability to change a game. He has a rare combination of skill and work rate, which will endear him much to the Wild faithful. Expecting Parise to be a point-per-game player or to duplicate his 2008-09 season of 94 points would be a folly, but 30-35 goals sound about right. Despite the fan bases of both New Jersey and Nashville feeling as if they were spurned, much like Predators GM David Poile, the signing of the two in Minnesota is good for hockey in the United States. Poile felt spurned as his team was not able to "make a counter-offer" for Suter, as noted by The Tennessean's Josh Cooper. There arguably is not a more hockey-mad area in the country than the Twin Cities and Minnesota in general, so the return of one of its favorite sons and the arrival of one of the best US-born defenseman currently in the league is a good news on that front. Both players were stars at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and are good ambassadors for the game. The Wild and their fans have been understandably excited by the signings but you have to wonder where these signings put the Wild in terms of competitiveness in the Northwest Division. Vancouver remains the top of the division and Edmonton will certainly be exciting, but the Wild are certainly ahead of Colorado and Calgary. The Wild should challenge for one of the West's final playoff spots along with Phoenix, San Jose and Detroit. (Yes, Detroit). The Wild will be an intriguing team to watch and you have to believe this signing gives them instant credibility as a competitive team. They're still a while away from being a Stanley Cup contender, but this should shift some of the competitive balance out West. -Dan Pennucci Twitter:@dpennucci.

Recent Edmonton Oilers Team News RotoWire Update   5/26/2009 The Edmonton Oilers are bringing Pat Quinn back to the NHL. He’s bringing a gold medal along with him. The Oilers hired Pat Quinn as coach on Tuesday, hoping his success with Canada at the world junior championships earlier this year can translate to the pros. Quinn has been out of the league since being fired as coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs following the 2005-06 season. The Oilers also picked former Rangers coach Tom Renney as associate coach and retained longtime Oiler Kelly Buchberger on staff. The Oilers will be the fifth NHL team coached by Quinn, who succeeds the fired Craig MacTavish. The two-time NHL coach of the year has 657 career wins in 1,318 games behind the bench with Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto. Tambellini said the team needed a fresh start behind the bench when he fired MacTavish on April 15. Tambellini is familiar with both Quinn and Renney from their days together in Vancouver with the Canucks. Quinn is a former GM and coach of the club while Renney got his first head coaching job there in 1996. He replaced Quinn, who had stepped out of the GM’s office to fill in for the fired Rick Ley at the end of the previous season. Before joining the Oilers last summer, Tambellini spent several years in Vancouver’s front office.
