Hmmm, if he isn't qualified maybe Nelly Korda dumps him and I can introduce her to my son . . . nearly a millionaire already as a 26-year old entrepreneur:
You’re not considering the role we need to fill.if a team with Robert Bortuzzo can win the cup multiple times, does it matter?
Generally I agree but the drop off between Suter and the next best UFA D is considerable. Mike Reilly is not a top 4 defenseman on a cup winning team.
I do, but is Suter the only one? Mike Reilly could fill that role seamlessly the more I think about it, while Suter absolutely could be the best man to keep teaching Heiskanen. We probably will know the final say come two days from nowYou’re not considering the role we need to fill.
Bortuzzo has been on one cup winning team, 2019 with the Blues where he averaged a little under 13 minutes a night in the playoffs.
Leddy averaged 23 minutes this past playoffs. Who on the FA market besides Suter is filling that gap?
no thanks.For some reason, Detroit is non-tendering Evgeny Svechnikov. I would take a gamble on him considering he is young, did manage 8 points in 21 games while not getting a lot of minutes for Detroit and only was -3 on that train wreck.
That’s the old Islander loser mentality - he’s actually using Dallas to get more $$/term out of us!I might just have PTSD but I feel like Suter is using us to get more money/term out of Dallas
That's my feeling, though for me Suter is 60-40 signing with Dallas. All these signs seem to be pointing towards leaning Dallas. I think term overrides the Parise Isles contender influence. Also I find Guerin, a Lou player once totally convincing that it may be hard to go against his sales job. I would love to add Suter but only at the right price and term, after clearing the cap with bloated long contracts, I am not thrilled on adding them right away. This goes for Pelech too. Until Trotz arrived, he was not the same D man, I think Lou and Trotz can turn a UFA cheaper D man into the next Pelech if his agent goes crazy. I am all for logo, not individual players that think they are bigger than the team. That's a Lou thing, and I like that particular aspect of his thinking. Won't get too attached to the player. It's all about the team and the internal cap structure. No more Andrew Ladd contracts please.I'll put it this way. I think Parise to Isles is 95% locked in. Suter? 20%. Really think he stays out West.
That being said, if four years is the ask and we are one of the finalist, appears we maybe offering it.
It’s Lou. He’s definitely up for offering too many years.
I love Cizikas but I’m Looking around and I feel like there’s a lot of cheaper and solid options for a 4C.
Dallas might as well be his destinationOr Suter really prefers to play for the Isles, but only the Stars are offering 4 years.

I hear you. It's just that Casey has that "it" factor. His intangibles are high and I don't care who they bring in to replace him, it will be a drop off in the locker room. Maybe that means nothing, but he is worth a little extra per year given what he brings in terms of things not on the statsheet.
The Leddy replacement might already be in house. Maybe Noah Dobson proves he’s ready for 20 minutes a night? It’s the natural progression.You’re not considering the role we need to fill.

You actually posted a picture of your son here? That's something.
My issue with that is he was Toews' replacementThe Leddy replacement might already be in house. Maybe Noah Dobson proves he’s ready for 20 minutes a night? It’s the natural progression.
Pride pal . . . also, the business can always use some more publicity!
No. It was me.I think Bones or PW might have stolen MDC’s from his mailbox so idk
This is Pius Suter’s agent. Very surprising that he wasn’t qualified. I’d take him on the Isles any day
Well I figured pride and the Korda mention was just a ruse, but how you gonna promote the business...If you don't mention the business?

talk about horrible asset management. Especially what they gave up for him. He’ll go to Carolina and become a player.
