Maybe this guy isn't returning his calls.

Thumbs up suter enjoy the next 13 years:) If you could do it again maybe you should think about the full status of your team your signing with instead about worring so much about $$$ signs.

I *rofled* at this. Isn't Suter like Weber represented by Titan Sports?

he should take his 10 million dollar signing bonus and go buy himself a private island somewhere to live on during this lockout so we don't have to listen to him complain

You don't have to read it if you don't like it. He has every right to be pissed so do the other players, usually both sides are signing contracts in good faith.

Blindsiding people is the exact opposite...

No sympathy for Suter - what the hell did he expect?

He had a front row seat when Leipold claimed the Preds to be a welfare case...Now as owner of the Wild - Leipold knew well in advance that there would be some salary "rollbacks" with the next CBA, and Suter was not smart enough to stay away from this clown.

Not saying Suter/Parise wouldn't have any changes in their contracts (or the amount they're getting paid in the end), but you'd think these guys woud've rather signed on with a club that has a great relationship with it's players **cough - Detroit - cough**.

Although I have some sympathy for him ...

I did expect Parise and especially Suter to take their time and look hard - note: let your agent(s) and business lawyer - check each each contract.

Then take another week or so to decide which one would be the lovable deal.

I really don't know why players are rushing things so quickly on July 1.

Hell even Shea Weber did so by signing an OS and n o t knowing that he doesn't have a no trade clause in it? Sure he has 110 m reasons to get over but, his agents really screwed that thing up.

I wonder if some of them are only looking for the money and not the best Interest of thei clients? Reminds me on a great film with Tom Cruise labeled game of life..

“I thought a lot about since what I said, I don’t question Craig Leipold and Minnesota with regards to negotiating our contracts in good faith. I don’t question that. That might have came off wrong. I don’t question that. It’s just frustrating. We just want to play. We support Don in what he’s doing. Obviously you sign a contract, and you want to hold true to that. I think, and I hope, everything works out.”

Do you feel that in the back of Leipold’s mind, he figured you’d take a haircut: “No, I honestly don’t feel that. It’s easy to think that or it might come off like that, but honestly, I know they’re good people. And I know they wouldn’t negotiate thinking, ‘OK, let’s give them this because it’ll end up being this.’ Because that’s not the kind of the people they are. So that came off wrong [in Suter’s original comments to ESPN the Magazine].”

From what I've heard, Ilitch is one of the few owners against the lockout.

Did you actually hear that from a credible source or just as baseless fan talk on hockey forums, like the rest of us have? I doubt Illitch is against the lockout, he is a business man, and the lockout is to get the owners more money. Plus, the longer the lockout goes on, the greater the chance that the bottom feeding welfare teams will go under, and owners like Illitch will get to stop spending their money to support them.

And the less jobs available for NHLPA members.

of course he regrets it...lockout or not, he wasn't signing with the Wild until his family convinced him to. He regrets it now and when he is about to retire 13 years from now with ZERO Stanley Cups he will really regret not signing with a real contender (not just Detroit, but a handfull of others that wanted him too...)

Illitch is a proven winner this guy wants to win first and then everything else. He paid record salaries for this team just to get a cup to Detroit on top of that he is paying for argueable the best management team, development and scouts in hockey. This is not a guy bitching over a few million bucks Mr. I is the best owner in all of sports and that is - mind you - for a reason.

Just look at the latest move by Dolan getting the KHL on MSG --->big f*** you to our midget there are owners who want to play, because they have established a fanbase, tradition its not their fault Bettman and the BoG accepted teams in very questionable markets if they go under, so what?` There is always the option called relocation.

I'd rather teams like Detroit, Toronto and Montreal spending the money on improving their own team and not wellfaring teams, so they are able to sign Weber to a ridiculous contract and beating us in the frist round of the playoffs thanks to the stupid revenue sharing.

Also there is a reason, why Meehans Agency is considered the best one, the agents are very knowledgeable tough negotiators and looking for the best interest of their client. Best example would be Brad Richards he could have made more elsewhere but chose the Rangers for a reason.

Anyway in the case of Suter he should be pissed about his agent first...
