Former Wild Forward Parrish not signed yet.

Former SCSU star Mark Parrish is still looking to sign with a team after the Wild cut him. I would imagine Parrish will get picked up by a team sooner or later. Parrish is valuable because Mark is one of the those players that isn't afraid to get dirty, he has made a living standing in front of the net to tip in goals while taking a pounding from opposition forwards.

Mark Parrish doesn't like being branded a buyout. That stigma, he said, is the worst part about having the final three years on his Minnesota Wild contract bought out.

"That's the hardest part for me to accept," he said.

Wild general manager Doug Risebrough made the decision to buy out Parrish on July 30. Since then, Parrish has garnered interest from other teams but has had no solid offers.

"I try to work my whole career to become a guy that has a reputation, as a person and what kind of player I am. I felt that I had gotten there, and when something like this happens, no matter what it is — whether it's just business, whether it's personal, we don't really know — once the label 'buyout' is on you, then the questions start coming," Parrish said.

"I worked my butt off for this, and now I have to put up with this crap. It's irritating, but that's the business."

With NHL training camps set to kick into gear in two weeks, Parrish, 31, is still looking for a job.
