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

[Mickey Marner]

Suter will probably just sign in Tampa and go get his complementary Stanley Cup.

 

[OVO16]

Neither Suter or Parise is coming to Toronto.

Parise is dead-locked for NYI. Suter will most likely sign with the Bruins or Tampa. He's ring chasing. Also don't see him coming to Canada. If he goes to Canada, he's going to Montreal

[WTFMAN99]

Forgot about Morgan , unless you have him traded

He was moved

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

Suter will stay in the US.

I have Boston vibes big time.

 

[Jozay]

Damn lol

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Damn lol

Ya looks like 3 straight years of top 5 picks. Wonder what happens to Kaprizov now that they are going into a rebuild

 

[dubplatepressure]

Am I reading that right that the buyout penalty for Suter + Parise in years 2 and 3 is over 14M per year?!

 

[Morgs]

Suter is still a top-pairing defenseman.

Maybe by TOI. Not by anything else.

 

[TheDoldrums]

And year 4

Its 3 years of an insane amount of dead cap

There's no way protecting Dumba is worth that, these teams keep hurting themselves so much with their expansion planning just like last time.

 

[Morgs]

Also might have had expansion reasons behind it. Both had full NMC's no? If they both refused to waive it would have made them lose potentially Dumba or someone else that's clearly more vital going forward.

Not like they're super close to contending.

 

[Dreakmur]

Maybe by TOI. Not by anything else.

Who are the 64 better defensemen?

 

[Buds17]

Parise and Suter - signed together and bought out together! I'm sure they'll each/both land somewhere on short term deals.

 

[Morgs]

Who are the 64 better defensemen?

As if I'm gonna waste the next 20 minutes writing 64 better defenseman for you to just pick guys out that aren't in your world

 

[sxvnert]

I could easily see Suter going to the Kings to play with Doughty.

 

[Duffman955]

A lot of moving parts this offseason.

Should be a good chance to retool

 

[Dreakmur]

As if I'm gonna waste the next 20 minutes writing 64 better defenseman for you to just pick guys out that aren't in your world

I shouldn't be able to find any... right?

.. Wait Minny has nearly $5 mill in dead cap space next year on buyouts, and then $12-$15 mill in dead cap space on buyouts for the next 4 years?

Is that real?

Yes lol. The last 4 years the buyout actually costs additional 1.7 million in cap space from what it looks like too.

Edit: may have read a tweet wrong but looked like the cap space had a negative infront of 1.7. Could have just been a hyphen

 

[Mess]

Suter will probably just sign in Tampa and go get his complementary Stanley Cup.

With all that buyout money guaranteed he could very well sign for league minimum and try and win a Stanley Cup.

While Tampa has cap issues when you replace lost players with a Ryan Suter making $750k it would go a long way to soften the losses.

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

[rumman]

5'11 former star and 36 years old declining

Dubas, you know what to do. Get Parise

 

[fahad203]

Used to love Zach when he was with the Devils. I was so envious of those Devils teams. Finding gems everywhere
Edmonton really Fup not drafing Parise when they could have and passing him on

I remember McGuire absolutely going nuts and giving it to the Oilers for not drafting Parise

It will be fitting though if he goes back to the Devils. Wild jersey to me never looked good on him

 

[BertCorbeau]

Parise goes to the Isles 100%

 

[BertCorbeau]

Sweet baby jesus that's just some horrific cap management.

Yes they're looking at losing Dumba in the expansion draft if they hold onto Suter, but to impair your cap like that for 4 years is a really restrictive move.

I feel like they could have found a home for him via trade, way more appealing than the dead space.

Hell, even buying out Parise and going

4/4/1 and just suck it up for whoever you lose. Suter is still a *good* defenseman.
