Parise/Suter vs Benn/Seguin - Which would you take at the time they signed contracts?

[Great Panda 2]

Hypothetical situation. Your building a team, not from scraps but from roughly the same starting point. You get to choose which which duo to build around

Parise and Suter signed 13-year, $98 million contracts, $7.538 million AAV. They were both 27 at the time.

Seguin signed 8 years, $78.8 million ($9.85M AAV), Benn 8 years, $76 million ($9.5M AAV) 2 years later. Pretending for this experiment, they signed a the same time.

Pretending they all signed at the same time, which duo would you build around?

In hindsight, Suter-Parise aged better, but I would have taken Benn-Seguin at the time of signing. 13 years is always sketchy. Benn’s falloff was surprising and Seguin’s hip wasn’t predictable

A shot. I would take a shot.

like you know what would happen? suter was a top 5 D in the league for most of that contract, hes by far the best player in here.

So at what time are we pretending they all signed at?

They are all 27, just signed their contracts.
