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

[Sota Popinski]

I'm guessing Detroit for Suter and Parise on cheap prove it deals.

Your guess is idiotic because there is no way they are going to play out their careers on one of the worst teams in the league, especially for no money. These guys already have over $100 million.

 

[Sota Popinski]

It is extremely funny to me that Edmonton ponied up for Duncan Keith, and then a day later a better old defenseman could be had for free.

Yeah, but there is no way Suter is going to play in Edmonton. He'd probably retire first.

 

[Patmac40]

Maybe they have a really good view of inefficiencies in the ELC market in a few years coupled with info about the TV deal and how it may affect cap in those years so the dead cap won’t affect them as much. Or maybe I’m giving too much benefit of the doubt.

 

[PromisedLand]

damn i expected buyouts for both but did not expect it to come so soon. Parise had been declining for a while but its a shame what happened to Suter; did not expect him to decline so rapidly

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Suter can still play, can't he? I know Parise is done

I like the look of that

Yes, I could see Suter getting around 5 mil still. He can fit at least as a 2nd pairing guy on many teams. Parise will get a short term deal somewhere like the Islanders.

I am confused on how much in cap space this costs Nashville? Thanks

Three banners worth.

 

[Rich Nixon]

All the OGs who were here for the signing-day meltdown put your hands in the air

2010? Pfft, rookie.

 

[paragon]

What the heck

They save almost nothing against the cap

And not even that much in real dollars

...crazy

Yeah, it makes no sense. They save 3M per player, but the need to pay the guys replacing them, so hardly any savings. And the cap savings are negligible. I guess it saves couple of expansion draft slots.

 

[GordonGraham]

A guy like Suter can still get a 3m-4.5m per on a 2 years contract can he ?

 

[Dan Kelly]

Yeah, but there is no way Suter is going to play in Edmonton. He'd probably retire first.

how do you know that? did you ask him? there was no way Duncan Keith was going to play in Edmonton either but here we are! and the Oilers didn't pony up that much, Jones was likely gone one way or another, either by trade or expansion draft and to be honest he hasn't been a great d-man for the Oilers and was expendable. and what is likely a 3rd round pick next year isn't anything to lose any sleep over either.

Changing of the guard or not. At the very least, you ask him if he’ll waive his NMC to go somewhere on a retained salary transaction. Suter is still a very solid top 4 LD, which isn’t going to be replaceable whatsoever with the $150K in cap savings in years 3 and 4 of this buyout. The Wild are not in a good place with their cap whatsoever. Fiala and Kaprizov require extensions which are going to eat up all of the space. There’s going to have to be more moves to make this work after next year.

Suter might have been a stickler on locations and guerin had enough. Carrying this bs into next season is a nonstarter. Best to cut bait entirely.

None. Suter was a ufa.

From what Russo said on the radio it sounded like Suter was stunned. My guess is he wouldn't even waive this offseason if asked. Down the line maybe though.

 

[tarheelhockey]

2010? Pfft, rookie.

To be fair, I don't use my burner account any more

 

[Dan Kelly]

I do not understand the meaning of what happened.

Total - (2021/22 $ 4,743,588) - (2022/23 $ 12,743,588) - (2023/24 $ 14,743,588) - (2024/25 $ 14,743,588).

the '22 to '25 cap hits are ghastly !! the hardest cap hits for just 2 players that I think I have ever seen !!

 

[Sota Popinski]

What? Everybody was saying that Keith was either going to Seattle, Vancouver or Edmonton to be closer to his kid. Suter isn't going to do the opposite. He has plenty of money and there are contenders in the US that Suter will sign with before he goes to Edmonton.

 

[Stickpucker]

Neither of em' allergic to anything?

Shellfish? Glue? Tape? Ice? Wood? Cotton? ....so many options.

 

[Headshot77]

Why the f*** would they buy out Suter? Definitely could have traded him @50% and f***ed their cap up less.

 

[Sota Popinski]

Suter can still play, can't he? I know Parise is done

Parise isn't a top 6 player any more, but he's not done. He still has a good nose for the puck, but defensively he is a total liability.

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

I don't understand why any team buys out these contracts. It doesn't save them any cap room. They have over 14 mill against the cap the following two years anyways. So, it only helps in year 1. Who is signing one year deals?

 

[Dan Kelly]

so you think Suter wouldn't go to Edmonton because he has "plenty of money"?
