GDT: Trades & Free Agency Thread - Off-Season Early Edition

[Menzinger]

Wow, Wild buying out both Parise and Suter.

Parise would be intriguing on a one year cheap deal. He's got a bit of hockey left in him and plays on the left

 

[hamzarocks]

Wow both Ryan Suter and Zach Parise have been bought out

I doubt either would want to come to Toronto but both at 1M or so would be great additions

Probably go to NYR/PIT or some other metro team

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Parise and Suter getting bought out.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Suter is still decent. I'm surprised they bought him out too.

 

[fahad203]

5'11 former star and 36 years old declining

Dubas, you know what to do. Get Parise

 

[Menzinger]

Makes that Keith trade look even worse from yesterday. Bet Holland would have liked that money back to actually chase a good D man like Suter

 

[hamzarocks]

Suter despite the Age is better than Muzzin he'd be our 2D and would complete the defense very nicely. Sadly he doesn't play RHD otherwise he'd be a great fit to drop brodie to the 2nd pair

We aren't getting him though.

He'll get a multi year offer from some American team

 

[VanW27]

Suter is still decent. I'm surprised they bought him out too.

Yeah, wasn't he there captain too?

Played 22 minutes a game for them last year, put up 48 points in 69 games 2 years ago. Also a buyout saves them about 5mill in cap this year but only 1.2mill next year and <200K the 2 years after that while adding 4 more years of 800K in dead space after that.

Seems like an odd decision to me, they could have just held onto him for another year and dumped him to a non cap team with only 4 million left on his deal for those last 3 years.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Minnesota is f***ed in 2023-24 & 2024-25. A combined $14,743,588 cap hit in both seasons. They'll basically be a cap floor team. Should just tank for Wright and Bedard.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Parise is basically a Spezza at this point, but Suter is still a top-four D and should get a decent pay day.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I feel like Suter goes somewhere like Boston

BUT if he was willing to come here, lose Holl/Rielly, bring in Suter and Hamilton

Muzz-Hamilton
Sandin-Brodie
Suter-Liljegren

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I would gladly take both Parise and Suter on cheap 1-2 year deals.

 

[VanW27]

Cap ramifications from these moves aren't pretty for the Wild, cap penalties for the next 8 seasons:

2021/22 - $4,743,588

2022/23 - $12,743,588

2023/24 - $14,743,588

2024/25 - $14,743,588

2025/26 - $1,666,666

2026/27 - $1,666,666

2027/28 - $1,666,666

2028/29 - $1,666,666

[LaPlante94]

Parise goes to the Islanders and Suter goes to highest bidder because there'll probably be quite a few.

Muzz-Hamilton
Sandin-Brodie
Suter-Liljegren

Suter is still a top-pairing defenseman.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Suter is still a top-pairing defenseman.

I don't think he's top pairing anymore, top 4, yes. I went for balance with my pairings.

You could surely go

Muzz-Hamilton
Suter-Brodie
Sandin-Liljegren but how much ice time are these guys gonna get?

Years 2-4 are absolutely insane. Could possibly set the team back a decade

It's a solid lineup. Would LOVE Suter on our blueline.

 

[Kiwi]

That my friend is a lot of dead money

I'd be interested in both of them, especially Suter but I doubt either wants to move north of the boarder

Forgot about Morgan , unless you have him traded

 

[Mickey Marner]

So much for Eichel to Minnesota.

 

[Avilaj07]

With Suter now available, I would definitely think at moving Rielly and seeing if you could get Suter on a 3 year deal while also signing Hamilton.

Suter-Hamilton
Muzzin-Brodie
Sandin-Bogosian/Lilijgren

Trade Holl
Trade Dermott

Just don't see Suter signing with a Canadian team.

 

[ACC1224]

Suter will stay in the US.

 

[Gallagbi]

I'd be interested in both at the right price and someone like Suter could help us gap Rielly if we decided to go that route.

Parise would be nice on our third or even fourth line.

Smart money is on Parise to NYI and Suter staying in the US though
