Star free agent Zach Parise is expected to make his decision about where he will play very soon.
Where will that be?
The suitors: Minnesota, Detroit, New Jersey, Pittsburgh and Chicago.
Parise did not say when his decision will be made, only saying: “I’m getting closer, but I haven’t made a decision,” Parise told TSN. “I haven’t set any deadlines.”
We'll break down the contenders and where Parise is most likely to land.
