Ya think? The Red Wings, if they sign Suter, would have signed; the most popular play on the Pred (TooToo) and one of the franchise cornerstones (Suter).

I pity the season ticket department trying sell packages after that.

This is why the salary cap in the NHL is pointless.

It raised to $70-some-odd million this year, which is impossible for about half the league to even reach if they wanted to.

And yet the Flames are second highest after signing Hudler? The problem is a watered down league with too many teams, not salaries.

Cup contenders every year. Wish the Chiefs could do that.

C'mon Suter, sign with the Preds already!

me personally, I want to know where Carle & Semin go.

I was with Brian when he got the call, he was pretty happy and relieved. He really loves Nashville.
Toot's was offered a deal from the Pred's but he was upset the with the way he was treated towards the end of the season so he didn't want to re-sign.
Things don't look good for either Suter or Weber in Nashville. Expect Suter to sign elsewhere and Weber to get traded. This would be devastating for the Pred's but I was also with Ryan Ellis this weekend and if this scenario plays out he'll get tons of ice time. Look for Nashville to trade for a D-man soon. Maybe Bouwmeester?

Didn't see this one coming...

Hearing that Jaromir Jagr has agreed to one-year, $4.5-million deal with the Dallas Stars

If they dont get Suter I think they are going after Bouwmeester or someone like him. The owners have gave the green light, hope they get one of Suter/Weber. Very glad Brian is back and enjoys Nashville, he is one of if not the best enforcer in the league.

Sportswriter out of Minneapolis, which is Parise's home town, says the two have been talking and would love to play together, and that Minnesota is a finalist and could land both. Their GM and head coach met with Suter in Madison yesterday.

Parise also to Minnesota. Holy ****ing god.

Minneapolis Star Tribune reporting Suter to MN is done, Parise is close.
