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

[Tres Peleches]

The Isles should be all over both of them if they’ll take some Spezza/Thornton-esque deals

 

[bossram]

Wow. Big move from Guerin. I get the rationale for freeing up expansion slots on forward and defense but...holy mama.

Suter is slowing down, but he can still play right now. I guess they think one of Addison/Mennell is ready for a full-time role.

The long-term cap ramifications are ugly though. These were buyout-proof contracts. From 22-23 to 24-25 they're going to have ~$13-15 million in dead space from these buyouts. That's tough to manage. They still need to replace these guys on the roster with other players.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I would take them both, especially Suter

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Parise is done, and was always overrated, but Suter is a surprise.

Smiling as a devils fan

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Suter and Weber reuniting in MTL you heard it here first

 

[tarheelhockey]

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

 

[Gurglesons]

That, ladies and gentleman, is a lot of dead money

Fits well with the rest of Minnesota's contracts

 

[CraigsList]

Have to think the Habs make a huge push for Suter. Suter/Weber reunion

 

[The Crypto Guy]

WOW!!!

 

[The Blunder Years]

This has to be step 1… they could have easily got something for Suter. Maybe even Parise too

[Ken Holland has entered the chat]

I’d love to see his face after just trading for Keith yesterday lol

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

So....going all in for Eichel or the beginning of a rebuild?

 

[Djp]

I could've seen Parise but Suter too? Wow

they likely woukdnt waive ED exposure.

22/22 was last salary year. The remain 3 yrs after we’re low $1M-s2M seasons.

22/23-24/25 seasons they will have near $15M of dead space.
Guess they are out on Eichel….

 

[PensandCaps]

What are the Wild doing? They're going to have $12.7 million in dead cap space in 2022-2023 and $14.7 million in dead cap space in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. Is this basically just admitting the Wild are going to rebuild?

I can kinda understand buying out Parise, but absolutely not Suter.

Maybe the GM don't expect to be there that long?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

If Suter had accepted the move to Edmonton, with 26% retention it would have been better option than Keith.

I took that retention sum so the cap hit would be about the same as Keith's.

Yeah. But Suter's contract runs for 4 season as opposed to 2 for Keith which a much higher cap hit. Edmonton would probably not want that.

Also, I bet the buyouts at the same time are probably because they want to continue playing for the same team.

 

[Duck Off]

Good lord, they're going to be paying them the same cap hit not to play for them for years 2-4, and then paying a league minimum cost for years after, just to save some cash for next season.

Wild. (Pun intended)

ha! Nailed it

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

This has to be step 1… they could have easily got something for Suter. Maybe even Parise too

Easily? I don't know about that. Not with the flat cap.

 

[MuckOG]

I wonder who can he be referring to?

 

[Fazkovsky]

Here is joel edmundson replacement

 

[Captain97]

Suter and Weber reuniting in MTL you heard it here first

Your actually 3rd

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don't understand how Minnesota can afford Eichel with $12.7-$14.7 million in dead cap space from 2022-2023 to 2024-2025.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

What are the Wild doing? They're going to have $12.7 million in dead cap space in 2022-2023 and $14.7 million in dead cap space in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. Is this basically just admitting the Wild are going to rebuild?

I can kinda understand buying out Parise, but absolutely not Suter.

It makes sense why Kaprizov would want to leave as well.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Suter will find a spot easily. He's still decent. Parise will probably also find a spot on a cheaper one year deal, he could be a decent pickup for that. And they're gonna be getting that sweet buyout money, so they can look for best fit and shot at a cup if they want to now.

In before both sign for one year, one million each in Tampa lol.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I wonder, who can he be referring to?

This guy is killing me.
