I'm calling Matteau to the Blues.

Completely out of my ass, because I've barely followed juniors/the draft class this year.

Blues on the clock.

Uh...

Glad to see Brian McGrattan back for the Preds. Cannot believe Tootoo is a Red Wing. Good solid signings so far with Gaustad and Gill from the trade deadline. Very nervous about Suter, I think someone may make him an offer he can't refuse.

From a talent stand point losing TooToo is not a huge lose, but from a marketing stand point it's devestating.

Yes it is, some fans understand but others are upset. The Preds did claim they offered him a 3 year deal but it was not as much money as the Red Wings offered. I guess now Yip is the agitator, thats like Tootoo very light.

If the Pred lose TooToo and Weber I will predict all out riots at 8th & Broadway.

The Avalanche signed Parenteau yesterday... seems like a solid move, but I didn't watch the Islanders at all last year.

Parise and Suter are supposedly deciding today.

I don't know much about Parenteau either aside that he also played(sometimes) on a different line than Tavares.

He had something like 33 points involving Tavares.

I keep nervously refreshing various websites hoping for good news and dreading bad news.

CRAP!!!

Ryan Suter Rumors: Red Wings Reportedly Offer $90 Million Over 12 Years


Ryan Suter, one of the prizes of the 2012 NHL free agency period, has a big decision to make. He's also got a lot of money on his table, thanks to a contract offer from one of the league's premier franchises: Suter is reportedly weighing a $90 million deal from the Detroit Red Wings.

Suter became one of the NHL's best defensemen in his time in Nashville, and has at least 37 points in each of his last four seasons, including a career-high 46 points in 2011-12. But the Red Wings dangling $90 million, spread over a 12-year deal that will last until Suter is 39, might be enough to get him to switch jerseys in the Central Division.

Suter might also join another former Predator in the Motor City. Jordin Tootoo shocked the Music City when he signed with Detroit on Sunday, leaving the Preds fans at On The Forecheck more than a little miffed. Suter following suit would be a bit more predictable, but could be just as devastating.

Seriously, **** the Wings

The Wings were the likely destination with Lidstrom retiring, and they made it happen. Nashville's gotta be pissed.

I don't think its over yet, but yes if he goes to Detroit or Minnesota, the Preds fans are going to be extremly pissed. They will not be happy with other places but those two, and probably Chicago would really be upsetting.
