Yes it is not ideal having suter signed for the next 6 years but he has been one of the most consistent defence in the league over the course of his career. Look at what Chara is doing for the Bruins at 40. Suter at 40 for only 3.7 mill might not be that bad considering the cap will only go up. In my opinion he may be exactly what the leafs need, too bad he isn't right handed.
Anyways is the value fair? Not sure just picked a few of the leafs higher end prospects.
Regardless of valuation, Suter has full NMC. Only way I could see him waiving that is if Bruce stops giving him at least top-4 minutes and some tempers flare between the two, as he seems to want to be out there as much as possible. Even then, I think Bruce would be gone before Suter.

A chance to make a few runs at a cup can be pretty tempting. Minnesota looks like they aren't even close to contending for a cup.
