D.Doughty Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Unrestricted free agent defenceman Ryan Suter has reportedly been offered a 13-year, $90 million contract by the Detroit Red Wings. A report in the Detroit Free Press says that Suter was offered $80 million by the Red Wings on Sunday, and the team has since increased its offer to the 27-year-old blueliner. The newspaper says that Red Wings general manager Ken Holland met with Suter at the defenceman's home in Madison, Wisconsin on Tuesday. Suter is reportedly also being pursued by the Philadelphia Flyers and Minnesota Wild, in addition to his former team, the Nashville Predators. His agent, Neil Sheehy, said this week that Suter is taking some time to consider his options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Philadelphia offered over $200M for both Parise and Suter. If you must have a source google it. I read a lot of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Strangely enough, a thread was made about this earlier. The only source at the time was HockeyyInsiderr. As a result, it was locked. /topic/332627-suter-signed/">http://forum.canucks...7-suter-signed/ Then again, he has been wrong about multiple things: http://twitter.com/H...183249635389440 As we know, nothing happened today.

Bieksa's Quote Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 All I can say is that, as bad as this is for Detroit in the long term, I don't want the Wings to become any stronger. Hopefully Suter decides to sign somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm still conflicted on whether or not to believe him. Some of his tweets are accurate, while others are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Absolute garbage if this goes down. $7 mil a year for Suter??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 No biggy, only $10 million more... we might just well throw in another $20 million as a signing bonus.... and then anothe $10 million as a bonus for the signing bonus. This is absolutely rediculous.... i used to really respect the NHL for keeping slaries low (compared to the MLB, NBA, NFL) but it looks like the NHL is climbing up close to these other league.

DeNiro Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So if Suter gets 7 mil a year for 13 years, what would we have to pay for Weber? 9 mil a year for 16 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobble Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 These contract are ridiculous. Needs to be a cap on contract length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 He also said we were out of the Garrison sweepstakes mere hours before we signed him, at $2million less than he said we offered him. I wouldnt say he is credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 i don't buy the Suter hype. I know they are just numbers but 37, 39 and 46 points - 55, 64 and 46 hits - +4, +20, +15 - 4 goals, 4 goals, 7 goals... Those are some unspectacular numbers, particularly beside Weber. I realize there are significant parts of his game that are not accounted for in these statistics, but without the name Suter attached, those are not 90 to 100 millon dollar numbers. If they came with the guarantee that Weber was to follow, that would be another question, but if the Canucks signed this guy to that contract, I'd be pretty damn disappointed.

Ryan Strome Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm still conflicted on whether or not to believe him. Some of his tweets are accurate, while others are not. He certainly has much to prove if anybody is to consider him a legitimate source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
