Confirmed with Link: Wild buying out Parise and Suter

[guitarhunterdude]

Uff da. Parise makes sense. Suter not quite as much. How do we keep Rossi or Boldy in a couple years?

 

[57special]

Dumba isn't going anywhere.

No shit...I guess Guerin wasn't BS'ing when he said he liked him.

 

[GuerinUp]

good bye to the golf club mentality!

God i love Guerin, Rebuild in full effect.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

with this, we go 7-3-1 easily right?

If people were worrying about losing both Dumba and Soucy, I don't think that would change much replacing Dumba with Suter.

 

[123TripleDoge]

holy ****

 

[P10p]

I mean, you can call this dead cap, but realistically, Parise was already dead cap. So this is less dead cap.

 

[Dog]

Well we are for a wild ride in off-season.

 

[GuerinUp]

Technically, this means we can fit eichel in without giving cap back this year

 

[DANOZ28]

how can we be competitive with all this dead cap for the next 4 years?

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

So, we’re operating with pretty much a 71M salary cap through 2024-25. We could afford Eichel this year quite easily, but after that? I’m not so sure.

 

[MuckOG]

Yeah, I don't think this will be the last move BG makes.......and I'm nervous as hell.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

we can lose soucy and resign cole to fill his shoes with ease, he was on the radio vocally saying he wants to be back. problem solved. we are going 7-3-1 not 4-4-1 to protect soucy.

I'm not sure we can afford to lose both Suter and Soucy. The foundation of our roster success is the structure of our D. Starting 2 rookies, one in your top 4, seems like a recipe for disaster given the lack of high-end forward talent I expect on the roster even given some improvement in free agency and hopefully Boldy/Rossi on the roster.

 

[Wild11MN]

Wow. NEVER saw a Suter buyout coming.

 

[Gargyn]

Technically, this means we can fit eichel in without giving cap back this year

And then the following 3 years you’re f***ed.

 

[GuerinUp]

play him for a year, sell him for twice we bought him for? Ultimate slap in the face to buffalo

This could backfire and have a decade long effect on this franchise, which may be a negative one. Tough to rebuild when you have $15M in dead cap for two consecutive years. I've never been a huge Guerin supporter but choosing now to double-down on the love affair is curious.

 

[GuerinUp]

I just thought of something..... edmonton traded for keith when they couldve signed suter for free

 

[DeagleJenkins]

True, however losing soucy doesn’t hurt much at all.

What success? We have gone nowhere and haven’t sniffed a presidents trophy. We did well great, soucy can be replaced by Cole and then we role a mediocre bottom pair which we can possibly make a decent bottom pairing still

Who plays 2nd pair LD?

 

[Wasted Talent]

Holy shit, I never even considered buying out Suter

Let's see how it pans out, but at least you can't fault Guerin for lack of decisiveness.

IDK, he must think some of our rookies are better than hes led on... Either way, im on board with this massive shakeup... it was LONGGG due.

No problem, still on ELC's. I am guessing that the Lizard shouldn't plan any significant house renos, though. Time to get Dewar, Marat, and ROR on a steroid/workout regimen to have them ready for 22-23.

No issue with the shakeup here man, but this is not the route.

 

[Prior]

Suter is a complete shock.

They are doing the right thing with retaining Dumba though.
