DET GM Ken Holland met with Ryan Suter today. No decision imminent. Probably won't come before Thursday. #RedWings

I can't see us landing Parise without having already signed Suter up.

For all we know the hold up could be because Parise and Suter are trying to get good deals from the same team so they can play together.

Package deal? Could be.

That'd be my thought too, I really thought we were about to get real good news...kinda bummed now!

Suter wants to play for the wings but his agent is gonna squeeze probably another 5M out of us. He'll probably meet with another team and put us through torture and then Holland will meet him and give a slight raise and the deal will be done on Friday. Suter and his agent have all the leverage even though he wants to play in Detroit he knows there is no other options on defence for the wings. Maybe if Lidstrom waited until after free agency frenzy Suter wouldn't have so much control and would have already accepted a deal. Suter is just playing the game, as annoying as it is, but I think it's clear he wants to be a Wing. Having all this uncertainty means more money for him.

Ah yes the ME generation once again.

Eh, what can you expect. His generation was raised by the boomers, aka, the original ME/entitlement generation who just passed down their views to their kids.

So...here's something strange...I went to look at his specific stats and Suter doesn't show up in the player list on nhl.com. He should be at the bottom off the list at this page...no?

Suter isn't real. He doesn't exist.

Actually these two are getting way may bang for their buck with this pins and needles stuff I'm sure.

[Salviaman]

Everybody calm down!!!!!! Think positive. Good things will happen, good things...

[Dominator2005]

Maybe Suter should offer his talent on www.Ebay.com.

$90M / 13 years is a great offer... +/- $10M shouldn't make any difference...

[YougotDatsyuked]

They should have taken Tootoo with them to left hook his f**king ****** bag agent and him if he said no

Parise doesn't show up on the page of players that start with "P."

I think this meeting and getting the raise is just Suter and his agent going through the motions to get a bigger pay check which, if you look at the Wings situation, it should be an automatic move. Holland won't let this guy walk to another team over money. They hold all the chips but at the end of free agency he will be a Red Wing. It's just a matter of how much it will cost. If his agent has Holland worried he will act more drastically, so the next few days will be hard for wings fans, but just know, Suter is pretty much a wing already.

Well there you go. If he signs with the Wings, he won't be getting humiliated by Datsyuk anymore. lol

[StevieBoy]

Please...if the requirement was that they could defend Pavel then we'd have noone on the blue line except Pav himself.

Is this kind of D worth 90 million?
