3 free-agents the Minnesota Wild should sign right now

The Minnesota Wild is a big-time NHL franchise. The State of Hockey loves the sport as much as any state in the United States of America. The Wild are a big part of it and they have mostly been a great team for a long time.

However, there are some holes on the team that could be filled to help them get back into the playoffs. As we’ve seen time and time again, just getting into the playoffs is the most important thing in this league and the Wild believe they will do that.

There are, although the season has already started, some good free agents who are still out there looking for homes. The Minnesota Wild might be a team worth considering for them considering the roster that they have.

Most of the guys that are left on the free-agency market that fit what the Wild are looking for want to win. Well, the Wild want to win as well. These are the three players that they should consider bringing in right now:

Zach Parise returning to the Minnesota Wild would be really cool to see.

Minnesota Wild fans are certainly familiar with Zach Parise as he played with them for almost a decade. He is one of the greatest players in franchise history as he scored a ton of goals and was a leader in the playoffs.

They never won the Stanley Cup but they were still consistently one of the best teams in the NHL. If it weren’t for the Chicago Blackhawks winning three times in six years and dominating all that time, the Wild might have had one with Parise leading the way.

They decided to buy him out a few off-seasons ago and he is still hitting their cap. However, bringing him in on a league-minimum deal now would help them score some more goals. He had 21 last season with the New York Islanders and he wasn’t even making 900K.

The Wild would add so much more depth if they were able to get him. In that case, Parise would be able to retire as a member of the Wild too which would be very poetic at this stage of his life and career.
