You're forgetting about the recapture penalty the Wild will face if he retires. They'll just LTIR him and keep paying him. Only way he leaves is if he demands it (NMC) and threatens retirement.
We heard this same argument about Weber and Nashville was okay with trading him, albeit that was for a superstar. If the right deal is there, recapture penalties aren't a huge deterrent in my opinion.

so you want him traded because he wants more time...I could see him wanting out honestly. He wants to much ice time for himself, more than hes getting and we need more for the other guys. What teams would be interested in acquiring him?
So you want to reduce his minutes by 5 per game..He is the Wild's best player, is likely to be their best player for a few years more, and will still be an effective player into his mid/late 30's. Especially if the coaching staff wise up and reduces his minutes from 28-29/ night down to 23-24/night. Throw in the recapture penalty and a NMC and you have to realize that a trade is highly unlikely.
More like 1st, JVR and Nylander, yah that's what it would cost.

Doubt it.. .TOR 1st holds great value.. TOR will ruin its "rebuild" if they make this move.
I still think Suter will get 25-27 minutes a night. As good as our blueline is he will still be the minute leader of that corp. Suter has shown that his previous workload does not seem to wear him down. He won't be able to steamroll Coach BB, like he did with Yeo for minutes. He is still the best defenseman we got, and his ice time will still reflect that. I don't say this as some Suter fanboy, but I think he will retire a Wild.He is the Wild's best player, is likely to be their best player for a few years more, and will still be an effective player into his mid/late 30's.

Suter has NMC plus special pull with the owner.
Very theoretical thread, unless Parise back injury goes nuclear and the team melts.
There's a little bit of debate about whether these contracts are subject to recapture penalties, since that didn't become part of the CBA until after the contracts were signed.

I don't think this Suter has as much value as some people think he has. His contract is honestly terrible. 7.5 until he's 40... He did have one of his best seasons last year but he will get worse. Unless minesota retains some money, it will be hard to trade him. No contenders can afford him, and I'm pretty sure every other team won't want him. In a few years from now he will be considered very overpaid, and it will be impossible to trade him for assets.
Actually he was considering signing with Detroit, Until his Wife and Heatly convinced him to sign with Minnesota along with Parise.
This thread really hasn't addressed a key question...given all of the highlighted negatives to squirming suter...what does minny expect in return...given those negatives...
I dunno what is a top 10 #1D worth? " all those negatives"...really...
