Calgary just got a little better on the D.
Think for yourself. Question authority. Throughout human history as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are or where we are going in this ocean of chance, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.

So if Wideman is worth $5.25m a year, what is Suter going to be worth?
Money of the Board-2013 Playoff Edition: Current $27 ($5 per series win {1}, $5 per series sweep, $5 per Kronwalling {2}, $2 per Jimmy shutout or fight, $2 per Tootoo goal or fight, $2 per Mule or Brunner goal {6})

Not that I am mad Holland didn't make this deal...but I sure hope Holland has his two defensemen on Sunday because the plan B's are running slim... That being said, Suter/Schultz me please!

Besides being a right-handed shot, I never thought there was much appeal to signing Wideman for the Red Wings. He isn't very good at all in his own zone and that's certainly a glaring deficiency of the Wings defense now with the loss of Nick and Stuart.
Thanks TeeMan

Wideman is this summer's Wiz. Overpaid and overrated.

...also, Calgary has 5 forwards to sign and have 7 D already signed..they have $12M in cap space. It was rumored that they were on Schultz's short list, does signing Wideman eliminate them? They have no spot for him to play...

That's what I was thinking. Suter 2 years younger, better defensively. Wideman has put up more points (marginally), not nearly as strong defensively. A career -39 for Wideman to Suter's +46. Despite looking at that bare statistical comparison, I think Suter's looking at more $7-million to start. $7.25-million I think is the sweet spot, just because he is the premiere defensive talent on the market this year and the options for other clubs just dwindled by 1.So if Wideman is worth $5.25m a year, what is Suter going to be worth?

Has there ever been an UFA who's rights have been traded that didn't immediately sign with that team? I can't think of any which makes me nervous to hear about anyone trying to acquire Parise or Suter's rights. I am aware that Poile said he would not trade Suter's rights but you never know.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I recall Mats Sundin's rights were traded by the Leafs to the Habs but he ended up signing with Vancouver.

I'm glad that Wideman is no longer an option for us. He just looks terrible in his own zone.

I can't think of the details specifically off the top of my head, but wasn't there someone who had their rights traded 2 times within a couple of days last June because he wouldn't sign with the first team that traded for them? Think one of the teams was Buffalo for some reason.Has there ever been an UFA who's rights have been traded that didn't immediately sign with that team? I can't think of any which makes me nervous to hear about anyone trying to acquire Parise or Suter's rights. I am aware that Poile said he would not trade Suter's rights but you never know.
edit: Christian Ehrhoff to the Islanders & then to Buffalo maybe? Of course Garth Snow would have to be involved.

Hahaha, Calgary get better each year. 5.25 mil a year for Wideman? Enjoy his 6 PP goals and -30 +/- rating.

And there's a valid reason why Calgary obviously wasn't concerned about his poor play in the playoffs this year.Hahaha, Calgary get better each year. 5.25 mil a year for Wideman? Enjoy his 6 PP goals and -30 +/- rating.

Dan Hamhuis is one that pops to mind recently.

Wow Suter is going to be one happy camper, if Wideman is worth 26 for 5 years, Ryan will go through the roof.
Expect a caphit of like 8.5+
