Oh wow.
I didn't know that.
If I'm Menell, I'm pretty pissed when they trade for Calen Addison.
Guerin apparently wasn't going to give the kid a shot.
I think he's got skill, especially with the new breed of fleeter, smarter NHL D-men.
Interesting.

That's because of the cap recapture penalty for these back-diving contracts right? Or does it have to do with when he signed the deal and is on top of the cap recapture penalty? I'm not entirely sure how it all works, but it looks like if Suter retires after next season he'll cost something around $6-6.5 million against the cap over the next 3 years. Similar for Parise I believe.

There's this article but I don't entirely understand it. The gist of it seems to be that the wild will be hurting due to these contracts if they retire and pretty much can't trade them because the penalty if they retire elsewhere skyrockets.
I imagine that they will find a way to involve LTIR somehow, which is how every other team have dealt with this so far (aside from Vancouver and Luongo as he seemed to want to stick it to them for how he was treated).
That article is from last year. It changed this summer with the new CBA deal.
This article from TSN (have to scroll down somewhat) explains it pretty well. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl-nhlpa-on-verg...ug-1-1.1492767
Basically, the old cap recapture penalties no longer exist. The old penalty saw the team pay a heavy price the longer a player took before he retired. The closer to the end of a contract a player was when he retired, the higher the penalty (aka, a higher cap hit). So a team might have been dinged with a $20 million cap hit if the player retires with one year remaining.
The new rules state that no matter when the player retires, his cap penalty is simply his cap hit for the remaining years left on the contract. So in Suter's case, it will always be a $7.5 million penalty, whether he retires this offseason or in four years time.
Just note that this only affects fewer than 10 players, as it deals with contracts that tried to circumvent the cap drastically.
