The Dallas Stars are considering buying out defenseman Ryan Suter’s contract, as discussed in the latest NHL Rumours.
With the offseason buzzing due to the upcoming draft and free agency, trade talks and potential buyouts are rampant.
The Stars, under head coach Pete DeBoer, have been highly successful in recent seasons, reaching the conference finals consecutively.
However, with key decisions looming, such as the retirement of veteran Joe Pavelski and pending free agent Matt Duchene, financial maneuvering is crucial.
Buying out Suter, whose contract has one year left with a $3.65 million cap hit, could free up essential funds for the team.
This move would see the Stars paying $783k in the first year and $1.4 million in the second, allowing them to allocate resources toward younger talent like Thomas Harley and Nils Lundkvist, potentially strengthening the team’s foundation for future success.
