Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Quote He created cap hell since buying out Zach Parise and Ryan Suter in 2021, but they have access to most of their cap space this season While I don't disagree with much of the article, this gets miscommunicated far too frequently, so I have to disagree with Guerin creating cap hell. Parise and Suter were signed through June of 2025 for $7,538,462 per season. Guerin was not around the Wild in 2012 when those contracts were signed. Guerin could have handled the situation differently, but the cap difference he created was less than $1.7M for this season and the next 3 season. He created some cap space for the prior 4 years, part of which was used to replace Suter and Parise, but Guerin did not create cap hell in my eyes. While there might be some folks who wanted Suter and Parise to play out their contracts with the Wild through last season and not have the cap hits for the next 3 years after this, I don't know if the $1.667M cap hit Guerin created meets the description of "cap hell". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
