Confirmed Buy-Out [MIN] Zach Parise and Ryan Suter

[Prior]

Team names being dropped for Suter are amusing. Looking at likely Chicago, St. Louis, Colorado or retirement. If you’re not one of those teams and especially a Canadian team, you can move on now.

How’s Kaprizov going to take this news?

I don't think they can afford to keep him with those 3 years of dead weight.

 

[Pavels Dog]

As if the Oilers could get Suter without overpayment.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Time for Weber to call hes old friend

 

[Agalloch]

Now Dumba can be protected.

 

[Sota Popinski]

LMFAO Parise and Suter going to get $26,820,508 over the next 8 years. Neither will have to work a single day of their life ever.

No, they are going to get $6.67 million. Their cap hits aren't what they are going to be paid.

The Suter contract was what Ken Holland offered him to play in Detroit. And idiot Fletcher matched it for both Parise and Suter. And now they are screwed with tons of dead money for the next 4 years any ways.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Or I am a Wild fan and have watched every game that Suter has played for the Wild.

His average TOI this season is 22 minutes. A far cry from "like 30 minutes a night" .

22 minutes of carrying Dumba and Spurgeon

People need to understand that we already considered Parise cap hit to be dead weight. We only doubled it, we didn't create it all out of the blue.

Seattle is an option and should make an offer to Suter.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

I loveeeee me some Suter!

Would really help out Doughty to sign him

3yrs @ $4m/yr?

worst comes to worst, you buyout his final yr if at 39 yrs old he struggles

 

[Rob Brown]

I don't think they can afford to keep him with those 3 years of dead weight.

You really think they did this thinking they would just lose him?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Wild management took that Bad Boys slogan for real.

22 minutes of carrying Dumba and Spurgeon

How many games a year did you watch?

 

[Breakers]

Minnesota is still struggling with this whole expansion draft again

 

[Mickey Marner]

Kinda surprised they didn't just tell Parise to LTIRetire.

 

[QJL]

Absolutely terrible decision by the Wild. Very little relief for extended pain. Insane.

 

[57special]

Suter come to Toronto win us a series get a statue

Most likely though going to some American team

Chicago, just up the road from Madison, Suter's home. CBH's are laughing right now, EDM...not so much.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

So which team is signing the both of them? Also, if they give Suter term, that's a 35+ contract so you're stuck with it no matter if he falls off a cliff but you sort of have to with how well he's still playing. It'd be interesting to see if Seattle signs them or some other American team. I can't imagine the two of them not going to the same destination.

I don’t think people here grasp what a typical day/week/month/year looks like for Suter.

No, Seattle is most certainly not an option.

 

[Eggtimer]

So now does Minn have to forefit a 1st round pick for nit following the “ spirit “ of the CBA? No intent to finish out their contracts . And yes I’m still bitter as a Deviks fan

 

[57special]

Kinda surprised they didn't just tell Parise to LTIRetire.

You don't really get how it works, do you?

 

[gstommylee]

You really think they did this thinking they would just lose him?

The team could have asked them to waive the NMC and see if they can find a willing trade partner. But straight buy outs is just stupid.

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

One less team to worry about contending:

Edmonton and Minnesota smh.

 

[MuckOG]

Kinda surprised they didn't just tell Parise to LTIRetire.

Because that would require Parise to comply....he still thinks he can play.
