Parrish Bought Out, Clears Waivers

Right Wing Mark Parrish cleared waivers today, thus becoming an unrestricted free agent. The Minnesota Wild bought out the rest of his three year, $8.35 million contract yesterday. The buyout was a result of Parrish's disappointing play (just 30 points in 66 games last year) and the Wild's need for cap space.

I'm guessing that somebody will sign Parrish, most definitely to a less expensive deal than he signed with Minnesota before the 2006-07 season. He is a six time 20+ goal scorer, and to me that means he's way too good to be unemployed for much longer.
