As the Wild attempt to sign Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, they plan to sell them on the team's youth movement. General manager Chuck Fletcher hopes to sell the unrestricted free agents on the fact that they will be able to win through the length of their long-term deals because the Wild, he feels, have a promising future. "This is a start of a new era," Fletcher said. "The fact they're turning pro is significant. It's not just down the road anymore. We can actually see the road now. What's exciting for me is when you look at it now, just from a prospect standpoint, you look at the forwards we have, the goaltenders we have, the defensemen we have, it's a well-rounded prospect pool. Our best days are ahead of us. We all want to get there tomorrow. But if we have a little bit of patience here, we're all going to be rewarded in a big way."
