Fantasy Analysis
Ryan Suter has now set a career high in points with 46 (7G, 39A). He is set to become an unrestricted free agent come July 1st, and will be in a great position to earn himself a fat new contract. The Preds are reportedly still trying to lock up his services, but don't be surprised if he winds up with another team come next season. (Updated 03/31/2012).
05/10/2012 10:32 Ryan Suter waiting to start contract talk, wants to finish career with team he picks
Ryan Suter's season is done so now the contract talk can begin, and it has. The soon-to-be free agent is arguably the hottest name on the market this summer and he says he wants the team he chooses to be the team he finishes his career with.
05/08/2012 11:31 Where do the Predators, Ryan Suter go from here after disappointing exit?
The Nashville Predators were seen as a real Cup contender this season, but after being bounced by the Coyotes in five games, the questions begin about what happens with Ryan Suter and the rest of the roster.
05/08/2012 01:10 Coyotes advance to conference finals
Mike Smith stopped 32 shots and the Phoenix Coyotes beat the Nashville Predators 2-1 on Monday night to earn their first trip to the Western Conference finals.
05/03/2012 00:02 Rinne blanks Coyotes, Predators trail 2-1
Pekka Rinne made 32 saves as he returned to his dominating form, Mike Fisher scored his first goal of these playoffs, and the Nashville Predators found their rhythm with a 2-0 win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal series.
Paired with team captain Shea Weber for most of last season, Suter chipped in admirably on the offensive front with 39 points (4G, 35A) and would have challenged his career high of 45 points if not for a leg injury that caused him to miss 12 regular season games. Suter also led the team in the plus-minus category with a +20 rating, largely the result of rock-solid play in his own end, something that is rapidly becoming Suter's number one strength. This season, look for Suter to reprise his role as one of the Preds' top two blueliners. Additionally, he is set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season, and stands to earn a significant raise on his current four-year, $14 million contract. Whether he re-ups with the Preds or tests the free agent waters next summer still remains to be seen. (Updated 10/4/11)
