According to a report by the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Sam Carchidi, the Philadelphia Flyers have made offers to unrestricted free agents Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, and Matt Carle. ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun confirmed Carchidi’s report.

All three UFAs have been rumoured to be targeted by the Flyers, especially defensemen Suter and Carle.

Parise, one of the elite forwards in the league, is one of the top sought-after free agents this summer. After playing in just 13 games in the 2010-2011 season due to injury, he posted 69 points in 82 games during the 2011-2012 regular season, and another 15 points in 24 games during the playoffs.

Wayne Gretzky once called the New Jersey Devils a "Mickey-Mouse operation," and then they drafted Martin Brodeur.

Before Brodeur the crease in New Jersey was occupied by the likes of NHL journeymen such as Sean Burke and Chris Terrari. For 19 seasons, Martin Brodeur has defined the New Jersey Devils.

19 seasons, 113 playoff wins, 4 Vezina Trophy's and 3 Stanley Cups, all in a Devils uniform. The notion of Marty wearing anything else is staggering but maybe even a little exciting.

The 40-year-old veteran is officially on the market. His new agent, Pat Brisson, has given the Devil's an ultimatum.

2012 Stanley Cup FinalNew Jersey Devils vs. Los Angeles Kings Every year, we predict, we project, we try to come up with logical conclusions to what's going to happen in the latest NHL season. Everyone has their opinions, everyone comes up with their own regular season and playoff winners, their own Final, their own Stanley Cup Champions. Usually, those predictions end up being wrong. Sure, you might get lucky with a high seed, but if the playoffs prove anything year-in and year-out, it's that the National Hockey League is absolutely unpredictable. This season has ramped that up to a degree we've never seen before. To give you a brief summary, the fir...

2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs - Eastern Conference FinalNew York Rangers ( 1 ) vs. New Jersey Devils ( 6 ) It's always fun when rivals meet in the playoffs. Penguins vs. Flyers. Habs vs. Bruins. Canucks vs. Blackhawks. Bad blood makes for good hockey, and more importantly, good television.

The best word to describe the feelings between these two teams is probably "bad blood", but then again that word pretty much sums up any match-up in the Atlantic Division. There's a lot at play here. Location. Histo...
