aside from the usual suspects everyone is talking about (zadarov, hronek, joshua), i've been impressed with suter. having him locked up for next season at such a low hit is very helpful given that he's playing as a top line forward for us right now.
considering that he's turning 28, has career earnings of around 11.5M and basically makes league minimum when adjusting for vancouver costs and taxes, (and half of what his last aav was in detroit), i would consider giving him a burrows-like extension this summer rather than letting him test the market next summer, if he's willing to stay for cheap.
thinking something like a $12m/4 year extension gives him financial security and gives the team cost certainty through the oel years. maybe $10m/3 years if there's hesitation to lock in for that long on a middle-6 forward.
sure, you could probably go bargain bin shopping for guys like jesse puljujarvi or ryan donato who will be ufas next summer as replacements, but in a rising cap environment, there's no guarantee they provide the same utility for cheaper. and if suter plays all of next year with miller and boeser and puts up 40+ ES points, we're probably paying him upwards of garland money or losing him to someone who does.
