from Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now,

What Does His Detroit Future Hold?

GM Steve Yzerman isnt an open book when it comes to contract negotiations. All we know for sure is that Suter is unsigned after July 1. Maybe the Red Wings are interested, but not at the salary Suter believes he can fetch if he enters the free agent market.

The other issue is Suter is a smaller player and the Red Wings are hoping to add some bigger, more physical players this summer. They want more push-back from their roster. Thats not Suters game. Plus, they need roster spots for the newcomers they are planning to bring in.

The other possibility, and Yzerman has talked about doing this with some players, he wants to explore his options before he commits to a new deal. It seems like a sound, logical approach for a rebuilding team.

The Red Wings show more than $30 million in cap space for next season, but they have several players to add, or sign, this summer. Plus, they have Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond and Michael Rasmussen coming up for new deals in 2024. Suter is making $3.25 million this season. Money is always part of the equation.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
