Friedman: Suter close to deciding, Boston, Colorado, Dallas, Florida, Islanders interested

[TheImpatientPanther]

Come buy a retirement home in FLA Ry.

Forsling - Ekblad
Suter - Weegar
Nutivaara - Gudas

2 yrs x $3.55 mil per with some big bonus money in there.

As an Islanders fan it's still feels surreal that high-profile players seriously considering choosing the Islanders is now... normal. The journey the organization has been on since Nabokov and Visnovsky decided that it was, actually, a good place to be to now has been long, and obviously accelerated by LL and BT. There is a certain symmetry between high-profile players from the 2003 draft considering the Islanders while Mike Milbury is complaining about being fired from his NBC job. Mike Milbury botched that draft, badly. And then LL captalized by trading up to take Parise. (In retrospect, Snow - even with his obvious failures - was a huge improvement over Milbury.) Now Parise seems likely to end his career with NYI. And maybe we'll get Suter, too, for one run at the cup. It'd be something.

Who are these high-profile players? Parise will sign with any fools that will take him.

 

[RckyMtnBlue]

He should definitely sign with the avs so they can win the cup in the first round...only to get bounced again in the 2nd

Yeah, I also don't think the aging,oft injured Parise qualifies as a very in demand player.

I did see media speculation that the Isles and Landy have mutual interest. He will draw a lot of attention when the ufa market opens.

I think he'd play the most meaningful minutes in Boston or NYI, both as a Boston fan and a hockey fan. Dude can make bank for the next eight years and not worry about it. IDK how minnesota is going to survive with 8 mill in dead cap the next eight years.

They won't have to because that's not how buyouts work.

Those pairs seem pretty balanced. RS come on down!

Ya thats if Stralman is moved.
And Q can hopefully get some of the LD prospects (Gildon/Koly/Ludvig) at least 7-10 games in here and there if injuries happen or Nutivaara isn't pulling his weight.

Never a bad thing to have good depth, I still like Stralman but seems they want his big caphit gone.

 

[OV Rocks]

I would say don't count out Washington either. He could be a great partner with Carlson.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

I got a better one : Why all these teams if he wants the cup tho ? (Why not with TB we all know they win again next year)

 

[Johno]

I think Suter should give Detroit a chance for a year, play with Seider and raise his marketvalue again

He should do that with Heiskanen in Dallas. Look what it got Oleksiak!

 

[Linds]

2 years with the Avs just to play in the same Division as Minny and crush them

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I know he's getting up there in age, but he's a year younger than me hah

I'd take him on the B's 100%. Come on down Ryan!

 

[jonlin]

Suter-Heiskanen
Lindell-Klingberg

Wouldnt be a too shabby D

 

[SEALBound]

Isles or Bruins.

 

[milehigh11]

why is Colorado in the running, let alone a favorite?
Girard, Toews and Byram on the left side.

Girard and Toews can play on the right. But with Toews settled in with Makar as a pair it would be Girard that moves to the right either for Byram to move up to the top 4 or for a FA signing

Though Toews and Makar played a lot together last year, Girard's most common defense partner was Toews and Graves (traded) most common defense partner was Makar.

Suter - Makar
Toews - Girard
Byram - Timmins (Johnson?)

 

[57special]

Chicago hasn't been mentioned? That would be, by far, the most comfortable transition for Suter. Madison is just next door.

 

[tmlfan98]

I'm gonna guess either Dallas or Colorado.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

I'm gonna guess either Dallas or Colorado.

I think he'd fit, but I don't see Dallas getting him, tbh.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Suter would be the perfect D partner and mentor for Sam Girard.

 

[Foppberg]

Islanders or Colorado imo. Maybe Boston.

 

[57special]

Suter would be the perfect D partner and mentor for Sam Girard.

Suter would make him do his laundry and his lawn, all the while telling him that Spurgeon is far better than he is.

It really would. Our beat writer says we aren’t interested in him. Maybe it’s the age

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

In Boston would be wonderful but how does he pick any team other than Colorado from this list?
