Playoffs ⭐️
The Stars are buying out the last year of Ryan Suter’s contract.
(per
@JeffMarek
)
They will open up $2.8 million in cap space for next year.
They will still owe him about $1.4 million in 2025-26.
Hopefully this will lead to the Stars re-signing Tanev/Duchene, or both!
Roope Hintz 30 Goals in 80 GP this season were more than:
29 — John Tavares (80 GP)
28 — Alexis Lafrenière (82 GP)

Underrated.
