Wow I remember when I said I wanted just Suter for the Wild...never in my wildest dreams did I seem them landing both...this is a franchise changing moment...and a day we'll all remember for a very, very long time. Congratulations guys!

Nice signings guys! Two huge pieces to build around for years and years to come.

I will never understand why hockey players sign such long contracts. Nonetheless, this is an awesome day for Wild fans! You'll remember this 4th of July for a long time.

Congrats on landing Sutter and Parise... Just made your team a very big threat in the West

98 MILLION!!!! For a defenseman who's never scored 40 pts, even playing with the best defenseman in the world (Shea Weber). This is absolutely insane!

Defense deserves the big bucks too...haha at people saying the Wild overpaid for both of these guys that is a joke...some are just mad they didn't choose their teams.

someone doesnt know much about hockey...and he had 46 points last year.

Oops... you're right... he's worth $98 Million... he's the best defenseman in the league.

Ask Chicago about signing Brian Campbell as a UFA, or the Leafs about signing Mike Komisarek as a UFA. This will not be a good deal.

[PurpleJesus]

Suter is better than both of those guys.

Also, Suter has had 40 points in two seasons, and 39 in another...where did you come up with that he has never topped 40 points?

And an average of $7.5 million per year, is not that much to be giving a 40 point defenseman...you make it sound as if we are paying 98 mill over 3 years...

Please tell me you didn't just compare Suter with Mike Komisarek.

And Brian Campbell just had a 49 assist season.
