Parrish signs with the Stars.

Former SCSU star and Minnesota Wild Player Mark Parrish has agreed to a 1 year deal with the Dallas Stars. Its nice to see Parrish catch on with another club after being waived by the Minnesota Wild.

The Stars have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with free agent winger Mark Parrish and will have him in tomorrow for a physical. If he passes the physical, the Stars will sign him and have him on the practice ice Wednesday, according to Stars co-GM Les Jackson.

The deal makes a lot of sense on a lot of different levels.

The contract is for $500,000 at the NHL level and $100,000 at the minor league level.

The Stars, even in their tight cap space situation, can afford that.

Parrish is a right-handed right wing, which the team needs, and a natural shooter, which the team needs. He would fit on a line with either Brad Richards or Mike Modano.
