Confirmed Buy-Out [DAL] D Ryan Suter bought out by the Stars

[ElGuapo]

One way or another the Stars are going to get younger next year with a 39 and 38 year old gone.

You just said the way they'll get younger.

 

[KingsHockey24]

1 year/800k to play in LA his final season.

 

[DaveG]

how did he ever get that long of a deal in Dallas at his age to begin with?

Because Nill loves his geriatrics

 

[Egresch]

Could he just retire to terminate the contract one year earlier to avoid the humiliation? I know it is the money, right?

 

[BLONG7]

Go read up on what Hossa has actually endured medically before making such terribly ignorant statements.

Agreed...............once you look deeper in the Hossa nightmare, you quickly change your tune for sure.

Today at noon eastern is when buyouts can begin yes?

I think it's tonight around 11pm ("48 hours after Stanley Cup awarded"). However, players without NMCs will have to clear waivers first. Therefore it's today at 11pm for people who have already cleared waivers (basically, nobody) and tomorrow at noon for anybody who is put on waivers today and clears tomorrow.

Anybody plz correct me if that's wrong.

At 1 million he’s a bargain

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He wasn’t nearly as bad as people here are saying. He had some good moments last couple years. Especially in the playoffs when he can get away his vintage cheapshots. Hell of a career

Over 1400 games and almost 700 points. Was a Norris contender for a few years. Good internationally. I mean, if Weber is a HOFer so is he.

TDA has a friend in the 2 times being bought out club.

They are living my dream, I wish teams would sign me to contracts and then buy me out.... if all 32 teams could do it, I'd really appreciate it.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

If he wants to play in Carolina on the 3rd pair and not be a dick then I'm cool with that.

 

[BKarchitect]

Great career. Can still probably hang around as a vet 6/7 for somebody. I’d be leery about just looking at his TOI last year and thinking “gee he’s still logging minutes, the numbers are still ok looking, he’s still got it”. Probably one of those moments you just need to trust Dallas fans opinion of all those minutes he was playing and how strong the feeling is they can be upgraded very easily.

He may not be quite 2024 Erik Johnson level of washed - but the bottom on these old, old veteran blueliners will fall out in the blink of an eye.

 

[Frozen Failure]

Because the other options at the time of the signing were decidedly worse.

He wasn't bad during the regular season where he could have a partner with fresh legs on his correct side, but he lost that in the playoffs, and he just couldn't keep up.

He wants to keep playing, and he refuses to be the #7 or eat scratches.... which was eventually kind of the problem...

Because Nill loves his geriatrics

I'm 35, soon 36. I pitched my services to Toronto, but they don't seem interest. Perhaps Dallas will be interested in me ?

I'm cheap, but I'll f***ing eat all of their food.

Bargain bin diving gm!

If there is a team in the NHL that would jump at the chance to sign a 35+ it's Dallas. the worse they can say is they already targeting another one and will double back if that falls through

 

[Joe Sakic]

Good.

That guy is such a whiner.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Is he better then Justin Holl?

 

[McJedi]

Nobody could have seen this one coming

Is this man being paid millions by two separate NHL teams not to play hockey?

I guess I’m impressed and admire Suter for this financial achievement.

Drouin made like $800k to put up career highs this past season. Suter making way more to just wake up and go back to bed each morning.

Legend.

 

[CanadienShark]

Please tell me he's going to get paid by two teams. Then watch him sign and get paid by three.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Really good career for Ryan. Never understood why they went 4 years with him though.

 

[SEALBound]

Can't wait for the "Confirmed with Link: Ryan Suter - $900k x 3yrs" thread.

 

[bossram]

One of Nill's bigger mistakes that he had a roster that required them to lean on Suter for the last two playoffs. They plausibly would have made the final in both years with a better, different defenseman.

 

[BHD]

Thank god! He is my least favorite Dallas Star of all time.

He was that bad?

 

[DRAGO 18]

Dude just needs to retire already, enough is enough
