Flyers Miss Out on Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, Both Sign Ridiculous Contracts with Wild

Well, after three days of feet(toe?)-dragging, Zach Parise and Ryan Suter have conspired to join forces in… Minnesota. With the Wild.
Waiting until around around noon on the Fourth of July to make a decision (thanks, assholes), both Parise and Suter have agreed to terms with the Wild, according to Star Tribune reporter Michael Russo.
ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun reports that both players got the exact same, 13-year, $98 million deal. Wild indeed.
Plan B for the Flyers? Um, Matt Carle or Shea Weber (who is a restricted free agent). Or a trade for Jay Bouwmeester, I’m told. I'd think Bobby Ryan remains a long shot.
