Suter was due $10 mill for the final 4 years with Minn on his contract. So he got 2/3 of that at $6.67. then he signed for a $3.65 AAV for 4 years. That would be $14.6 mill but next season was $4.3 mill cash. So, he got $10.3 mill, so rounded he got $17 mill so far, and if the buyout occurs, it's like $2.9 mill more. So, he ends up with almost $20 mill when he was due $10 million and would still have another year to get even more than if he had played out his Minny contract.Is this right
So he will get 1.4M from Dallas + 7.3M from the Wild + money from his new contract
So over 9.5M for this season
Depending on what happens with Giordano, I think Suter would be the oldest skater in the NHL if someone signs him and not Giordano. Pavelski and Parise both retired as of this offseason. They were both older than him by about 6 months.Everyone is saying that he's totally washed. Is he a league minimum guy at this point or more like 1.2-1.5M?
Perhaps so but seems like he will get a contract as per the tweets in the thread prior. Maybe a bottom feeder with a trade to a contender as playoff depth (even if he was ass in the playoffs, GMs make these kinds of moves all the time).Depending on what happens with Giordano, I think Suter would be the oldest skater in the NHL if someone signs him and not Giordano.

The only player older than him who is under contract is Marc-Andre Fleury. Brent Burns is 2 months younger and he’s better than Suter at this point.
You have to be pretty good to play in the NHL at 40 years old and Suter is not pretty good.
So yeah, he’s totally washed.
Yeah, I'm sure someone will sign him for a year, I just don't know why they would.Perhaps so but seems like he will get a contract as per the tweets in the thread prior.

Hossa actually had a skin condition. Again, fan nonsenseHossa exists
McDavid shares your hopes…i am hoping vancouver could sign him for cheap, depth is never a bad thing
At this point Suter might as well go for it and become the single most bought out player of all timeCan't wait for the "Confirmed with Link: Ryan Suter - $900k x 3yrs" thread.
He’s making so much money to not play it’s crazy.Oooof bought out twice
I think the most shocking thing is that no one came up with some BS excuse to LTIRetire him
McDavid shares your hopes…
Ryan Suter is not an NHL calibre dman anymore.
Penguins would be a good fit. They need some experience
You must've forgotten Joffrey Lupul being told to "be on LTIR" by Lou when he went on a really stupid podcast and let it slip that he was healthy to attend camp.Hossa actually had a skin condition. Again, fan nonsense
They were pumping his with meds to control it for a long time, and the side effects were not great. He had no reason to keep subjecting himself to it after he got to the point it didn’t feel worth it/he had accomplished as much as you could want.
The league literally does investigate every LTIR. There’s no reason to assume the worst other than it’s not an every day condition, and fans like to complain.
