Thread: Why I think Ryan Suter could be traded if he waived
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>It all comes down to Suter's willingness to waive his NMC for the team that is willing to add him. That is literally the only real hurdle. One I think he has no intention of jumping over. He's home and in the back 9 of his career anyway.

If for some reason he was willing to go anywhere that would have him, the second hurdle would be finding a realistic return for him. Just like with Shea Weber and or Carey Price in MTL. These guys are still elite players but their contracts/age heavily impact their trade value. So don't expect a bunch of 1st round picks and former 1st rounder prospects in return. The biggest value Minny would receive will be in the form of cap/money saved. Then some picks and prospects.

Any trade for Suter is going to be probably be for picks, prospects and a major cap dump though. If Minny is ok with that and Suter is willing to go elsewhere, yeah a trade could be made. Heck I'd even be ok if MTL would try for it (assuming they are hell bent on trying to win now while Price and Weber are here)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RalphMac</b></div><div>All players have NMC or modified NMC....probably going to be tough to convince them to opt.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I put Suter and Keith in the same "age doesn't really matter all that much" column. Sure he will eventually slow down, but he is still very valuable to a lot of teams. The issue really is the cap hit and, like you said, the WIld would need to retain some of that.
if Mini is entering a rebuild he is a nice piece to have on the back end</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AFOX10900</b></div><div>He could be moved the same way Burns Vlasic Price or Doughty can be moved</div></div>
