ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (AP) - By signing Zach Parise and Ryan Suter this summer, the Minnesota Wild transformed their team as much as anyone in the NHL.

This highly anticipated season, however, hasn't happened yet. With the lockout in effect, who knows when it will start?

About a dozen members of the Wild have been informally skating with other NHL players living in the Twin Cities area to pass the time and stay as sharp as possible.

Parise said Tuesday that ''everyone's just wishing that this would be more for real.''
