Wild to buy out contracts of Parise, Suter

ST. PAUL — Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the team will buy out the final four years of the contracts of forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter.

“Zach and Ryan have been an integral part of the Wild’s success over the past nine years and we’ll always be grateful for their many contributions,” said Guerin. “There were numerous factors that entered into the difficult decision to buy out their contracts, but primarily these moves are a continuation of the transformation of our roster aimed at the eventual goal of winning a Stanley Cup.”
