Suter Watch: Decision today, down to Wings/Wild

Another remote possibility: maybe a team is offering a sign and trade deal? -

I'm semi-ok with Kenny losing this one. But if Matt Carle is our elite blueline addition...I'm gonna call ball-drop. -

Why do we think they're going to Minnesota? Can someone point me to some tweets or reports or blurbs or whatever from credible, unbiased sources? (Not doubting, just curious as to how things suddenly went from guarded optimism to "s***, it's obviously Minny." -

We're talking about the Wings, more specifically our top-6. We have goal-scoring power; what we're really lacking, I think, is the other things that make a truly formidable top-6 truly formidable. Do I think we could use a sniper? Yes. But let's not kid ourselves - the reason the Wings couldn't score against the Preds goes way beyond the opp. D pressuring Datsyuk and Zetterberg. -

And let's be realistic: 20 goals on the 'yotes =/= 20 goals on the Wings. I'd expect Doan to crack 30 if given a whole season with Datsyuk or Zetterberg. Of course, again, it's about more than goals. What Doan would give us, putting point totals aside for a moment, is a physical, tenacious presence - a dimension that our top-6 is sorely lacking. Our scoring lines were insipid against the Preds. -

We need more than pure goal-scoring ability. Moreover, goals aren't all the result of pure skill. Case in point: our top-6 has a lot of talent, and more than a little acumen in the goal-scoring department. However, it (i.e. both lines) have a very hard time cracking the box when the opposing D throws up the fence and forces us to the perimeter. In this case, pure goal-scoring ability (as in, say, a sniper) might be of secondary importance to physical presence, tenacity, size, grit. I get what you're saying, and I'm not trying to say you're flat-out wrong. But it - especially in our case - is about more than just pure goal-scoring ability. -

Doan would be infinitely more valuable to us than Hudler was. If Suter and Parise sign with the Wild, they are living, breathing cheese. -

^^^ Also, it's about more than just the man himself - it's about the need. Specifically: the Wings are in desperate need of an elite defenseman, one with a package much like Ryan's (ha ha ha). Without a Ryan Suter, or perhaps a Keith Yandle, or someone of that high-end ilk, we might not even make the playoffs. -

I wonder if the "answer," for lack of a better word, is staring us in the face. Suter and Parise to the Wings would be an incredible coup. As such, the circumstances around it - e.g. the process, the logistics, the media games - would likely make for a lot of strangeness for everyone on the outside. Maybe that's what we're dealing with here. It's a stretch, I know. -
Just glad he's not coming here.

I'd be fine with Carle if we're adding Suter along with him. But to add only Carle? We need a top-flight blueliner. Someone elite. Carle's good - but he's not that good.
