What PLAYER should pop up in the next video? First reply to this comment is who it will be.
Gutsy move by Bill and the Wild. Tells you they're serious about getting the Cup, and done with these two. It's a smart business move. We've got young talent to get going, Kap, and an expansion draft debacle we avoided. Zach n Sutes will land on their feet and be playing for a few more years and be millionaires still, while doing it. Move along….
I feel like Seattle already had a goaltender in mind so I'm not worried about who we protect in net. But it would be nice to see Dumba go for some value now at least. Maybe in the draft perhaps?
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO CLUELESS ON THIS? You're a hockey channel for goodness sakes, doing analysis
The decision to dual buyout Suter & Parise right now is OBJECTIVELY one of the worst GM decisions in the last decade.
You pay Seattle whatever you need to, for them to not take who you dont want them to. 1st round? Done. 2 1st rounder? DONE. And Seattle definitely takes a value of that without a doubt.
What you don't do is add on over $12 million of dead cap space for 3 consecutive years, while creating a Top4 Defensemen hole in Suter, and getting rid of a serviceable player in Parise (tied for playoff points leader with considerably diminished ice time) who are also LEADERS as their Jerseys show, that COMMITTED to your franchise, AND WITHOUT TALKING TO THEM AT ALL. Guerin admitted he never even spoke to them about this.
Baffling. Good organizations dont create GUARANTEED PROBLEMS (like 14mil in dead cap) in light of POTENTIAL drop off, that amounts to the same dead cap. this puts a cloud over this organization, discourages future free agents, shows uncertainty of being financially stable to sign IN HOUSE TALENT that hopefully excels, while not being able to fill out a roster to its full capacity in the prime NHL developmental years of all the players you just protected.

Bill Guerin probably talked to them and laid the deal out and they both decided not to waive their mmc resulting in this buyout!
I also think nhl should introduce a law or regulation that if a player gets bought out the team should only be paying half the remaining term cause those players aren’t playing anymore and still getting paid and they’ll most likely sign up with a new team and make money that way! Just my personal opinion!
Apparantly when guerin called sutter to give him the news he just hung up on him. Sutter will get 4.5-5 mil a year for 2-3 years
The wild have always been relevant. Just not great, or even good for that matter. I personally love Zach parise and Ryan suter. Their contracts and possibly their old school deminer from their dad's may have hurt them in the new age Hockey?
What is cap space? You can easily be 18 million over it and no one cares
While it males some sense in the short term, it's effectively saying the wild are giving themselves 3 years of playoffs (maybe) before a massive retool. I simply can't see a team being competitive with 15 million dollars less than everyone else in the league. This seems a lot like a win now and pay for it later situation, which is odd considering the Wild aren't considered a particularly strong contender right now. Maybe they do something interesting with the cap space this off season.
This will either win them a Cup or fuck them over for years to come, there’s no in between. Or both, actually.
Suter buyout was a shock to lots but think it was a smart move. Now what happens in the future is in the air but I hope they are gonna push for this Eichel trade. Only time will tell
Good move! It will hurt the team for a few seasons but maybe they get younger and draft well it will solve it self in time.
Apparently when Guerin called Suter to tell him his contract had been bought out, Suter hung up on him
A goalie that score is a first ballot HoFer, duh!
…
Bill made a pretty large gamble that the cap will resume climbing next year which would mitigate the dead cap mid-term.
If not, he'll be in trouble but with his recency immunity he shouldn't be canned before the buyouts have been almost erased…

No way they protect Talbot over Kähkönen. No way. Right?
Red Wings suck nowadays but not getting those two years ago saved them what would have been a lot of wasted cash
It's very bitter sweet. Loved both players. But we all know that all good things must come to an end. If we wish to sign kaprizov we need a center. If we can find a good center, then we will be able to sign kaprizov and that center to a good deal. The roster is looking young and talented. If we can get these contracts wrapped up and have out stars signed for the next 5 years, we will be in a fantastic position. We can watch Fiala kaprizov and Erikson ek light the lamp. As far as defence, Spurgeon and Greenway can lead the youngsters like Addison. I love Dumba, but he can be a liability at times. I could see him leaving the wild to allow a rising talent to fill that spot. We just need to nail down kaprizov, Fiala, and a center. Bill is the man to do it. I think the team and organization can see bills vision and have bought in to it fully. Looking in from the outside, the wild look like a team that a talented center would gravitate to.
I would have liked to see Rinne go to a contender and play some backup.

Giving any player in any sport a 13 year contract is stupid.
For once…it’s not the damn Rangers, with another ridiculous buy out. Yay!
As a lifelong wild fan, I trust Guerin more than any other GM we've had. I liked Suter and valued his veteran/leadership role he had with the wild. I think Guerin is going to swing for the fences with the cap space this year.
Original contracts were crazy long.
Pekka was a beast. League is going to feel a lot different without him and Hank.
And this is why NBA style player collusion superteams will never, ever work in the NHL.
That graphic from Capfriendly.. That's a lot of 666's. Hope Minnesota fans aren't superstitious.
They both needed to go the wild have way too much tied up in money for 2 over the hill players praise and suter needed to go. The wild ate a better team for it with the talent coming being miles better at this point. Go wild!
"Zach Parizay"
bruh
Bill guerin is making big moves. Good to see the wild finally going to do a proper rebuild. They have always been a team just making the playoffs. But never a cup favorite. Would be good to see them finally build towards being cup contenders
The mistake the wild made wasn’t buying out parise and suter, it was giving them the contracts they did in the first place. All things considered it’s the best move under the circumstances.
I feel like nashvilles emergence as a hockey city is going to help rinne because more eyes were on him even if it was later in his career. There was a time in the early to mid 10s he was a beast and no one really knew cause he was in Nashville. I'd like to see him in but ultimately I doubt he makes it and will be one of those guys who you keep saying "well we would be this guy was on his last year of eligibility and we kept putting rinne off"
Get rid of the music!
GMBG (Guerin) has been incredible so far as a Wild fan. There have been massive rumors for years that the veterans had created a negative culture, and Parise specifically seemed to not want to mentor the young guns. This buyout needed to happen not only for the expansion draft to protect more important players, but to allow the team to re-sign Fiala and Kap. Next season seeing Foligno and Brodin with the A's on their jerseys (my predictions) will officially signal a new Wild team.
With all of the much due to respect to Pekka, I wouldn’t vote him into the HoF — at least not on the first ballot. With that said, I wouldn’t mind him making it because it would set a precedent for my childhood favourite Ryan Miller to be a shoe-in.
whoda thunk it that a 13 year … 13 !!!? 98 million dollar commitment to two players in their late 20s at the time would be a bad idea ? I wouldn't sign anyone to over a 6 year deal thats not a pending UFA for the first time
The wild made a huge push signing these guys almost 10 years ago, but how many playoff series did they win? See ya
In my opinion not even in their prime they were worth it.
The Blues will take one of those badass players. Still have a lot of veteran knowledge and skill to bring to a struggling team
Now pekka will be too good back then
Always cool when a goalie gets a goal, teammates never touch it knowing
Thank God the wings avoided that train wreck…I got banned from Twitter cuz I told Melrose this wouldn't work..and here we are their now dead cap space on the wilds books
Preds season ticket holder for 20 years….I definitely remember games on Tuesday nights with only 10,000 in the seats….without a doubt Pekka is the backbone of the organization's entrenchment and adoration in the community. His last game was an emotional experience because somehow, especially for those of us who have been in those seats for a generation now, Pekka became the bridge between a tenuous expansion fandom with little attention and respect to a respected and concrete fandom that is now able to claim a 2nd generation. Pekka enabled the fan base to feel it belongs in the NHL. Pekka enabled memories of attended games with my 7 year old to evolve into experiences with a now 27 year old young man who will one day take my grandkids. Pekka enabled the Nashville Predators to NOT be the Atlanta Thrashers…. the class, grace, dignity, and humility are just an added bonus!…thank you Pekka….for being all class, for being a competitive beast, for being the epitome of a role model, for being a Pred….for life!!!
Edit: Meanwhile, Ryan Suter…was an all-star asset at the time that walked away from Nashville with a big 🖕 to our organization. Glad to see them bought out…though they will make more money as a result of a new contract + buyout.
2 mins of ads?!? Sorry, i disappointingly will have to block your channel, that's too long and i'd rather not be teased by content i'm not gonna stick around to watch
What a terrible deal to begin with.
Repeat after me: Pa-Ree-Zee
😒
Parise (not Pa-ree-zay) was sold to the Wild Rubes as a superstar, game changing goal scorer and not the grinder he actually was.
They bought it and it hamstrung the franchise.
