PENGUINS FREE AGENCY UPDATE VII (updated 11:30 p.m.)
The waiting game is now on for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins who have been involved in an aggressive pursuit for star winger Zach Parise, have been informed by Parise's reps at Newport Sports in the past hour that the Penguins are still in the mix and that they will be in touch with the team again on Monday, as agent Don Meehan confirmed to Inside Pittsburgh Sports.com just after 8:00 p.m, that Pittsburgh is indeed on Parise's "shortlist" of teams.
Pittsburgh made an initial mega offer of 10 years that the team is believed have increased later in the afternoon, but nothing close to the 13 year - $100+ million offer the Philadelphia Flyers have made to Parise and indications are the Minnesota Wild have also offered a deal in the 12-13 year range worth over $100 million.
