While Zach Parise's decision is "probably" coming on Tuesday, there is far less certainty surrounding when Ryan Suter will make his decision. There were no developments on the Suter front on Monday, and so far the only news his agent has provided on Tuesday is that a decision is "forthcoming."
Ryan Suter agent Neil Sheehy tells Free Press: "A decision is forthcoming but.... everything needs to be considered carefully."

As Suter's agent said, "everything needs to be carefully considered," which is why Suter is still thinking things over. Basically, a decision could come on Tuesday, Wednesday or even later in the week. It's all up in the air right now.
Just based on how these two stories have developed, it seems like Parise is going to decide before Suter. Perhaps once that domino falls, Suter will decide on his team, allowing the rest of the free agent market to start taking shape.
