There were times over the past four months when it seemed as if Zach Parise and Ryan Suter would never put on a Minnesota Wild sweater this season. Finally, there they were on the Xcel Energy Center ice on Monday, cloaked in green and ready to start their long delayed, but highly anticipated careers with the Wild. The two big free-agent signings pulled on their Wild practice gear for the first time for an informal session with 16 of their new teammates. Parise and Suter signed matching 13-year, $98 million deals in July only to sit on the sideline during the NHL lockout.
