Ryan Suter Stats

Despite coming off of a promising end to the 2020-21 season, the Minnesota Wild are parting ways with two key veterans: forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter. Both players were placed on waivers on Tuesday and will have the final four seasons of their respective contracts bought out. Both players signed identical 13-year, $98 million contracts in 2012. Along with providing significant cap relief in 2021-22, the moves will allow the club to protect two more players during the expansion draft, which will fill the roster of the Seattle Kraken. The new club enters the league for the 2021-22 season. Colorado will receive more than $10 million in savings next year but will have significant penalties levied against them during years two to four of the eight-year buyout.

Minnesota Wild defenseman Ryan Suter scored a game-tying goal with two seconds left in regulation Saturday night vs. the Kings, adding an assist in an eventual 4-3 overtime victory. Marcus Johansson produced the game-winner with his first strike in Wild colors. Matt Dumba and Joel Eriksson Ek also scored for Minnesota, who entered the third period trailing by two goals. Suter logged a team-high 24:07 in the contest and he finished the game with six shots on goal. The veteran defenseman is off to a nice start to the season with three points through two games. He's been a solid 40-50-point guy for years and should be able to produce similar numbers in 2020-21.
