Phil Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Getting bought out by the Wild. Checks nearly every box they're after. Leader. Tough. Veteran. Experienced. Apparently still serviceable: Link: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I was about to make a thread. Go get him. Would be a perfect partner for Trouba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Im always interested in the possibility of getting guys coming off of buyouts. They come cheap. Fox-Lindgren Touba-Miller Suter-Lundkvist/Jones Not opposed if he comes cheap. Might mean including Reunnanen in a deal for a forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's probably more like: Fox-Lindgren Suter-Trouba Miller-Lundkvist Miller-Lundkvist can get sheltered as much as possible. Suter is the puck-mover on that second pairing and allows Trouba to hang back some and not have to worry about his lack of foot speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 fair points. Would be good to see if he signs really cheap. Im sure we'd also see it mixed up a little bit, and have a vet like Suter on a pair with a young guy for a bit as well, whichever one it would be I like this guy's twitter a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Link: I'd do two years at $1M per. He's earned over $100M on his contracts up until this point so I'm not sure if he's looking to milk much more. $1M is a safe number and can be stowed away if he completely falls off in year two.

Phil Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 The problem is, teams will line up to make offers, so unless you can convince him that the Rangers are his best chance at winning (they won't be), you've probably got to pony up more to incentivize him moving to NYC. Two years at even $5 million total ($2.5 million AAV) isn't breaking their backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 They don't even have to. They can fit him in at like $2.5 million, easily. Geo should be moved, regardless. Not because of Suter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I like this more than other options. I like this one as well, but I was thinking he would be looking more for a team that's on the cusp of winning sooner than later. He definitely makes sense to go after, and would be a better option than Brendan Smith in my eyes. Even the cost would be really friendly. I say take a shot, what the fuck, why not? Maybe he wants to check out the Big Apple! I'd think he'd be looking more at teams like Boston, Caps and possibly Colorado but what the hell do I know? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, but that was like a decade ago. What he wants now may be slightly different. If he's still prioritizing location, it's really Chicago, Winnipeg, Detroit, maybe STL. If he wants something else, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 People who leave Nashville for Minny because they want to go home where it's more "low key" don't often go to NY... Indeed. But sometimes stuff changes. Weber's a Hab. He didn't want to go to New York for the same reason but signed an offer sheet with the Flyers and accepted a trade to one of the most rabid fan bases in all of Canada.

RangersIn7 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Love to have him, but he doesn’t seem to me like a guy who would want to play in NY. Still though, they should absolutely look at him and all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Makes sense to get him and pair him with Trouba so I fully expect the Rangers to re-sign Jack Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I’d have a hard time thinking any bought out player signing in a location with heavy taxation. A lower valued contract stretches much more in places like Florida or Vegas. I could see Vegas walking away from Martinez and picking up a guy like Suter on the cheap.
