Ryan Suter was worth every goddamn penny

Ever since July 4th, 2012, Ryan Suter’s play has been overshadowed.

In those 6 years, Suter has been a workhorse for the Minnesota Wild, logging huge minutes without hardly ever missing a game. He’s been regarded as one of the best defensive defensemen in the game while also chipping in 47 points per 82 games during that time.

But to many, the man who wears #20 for the Wild is defined by two numbers: 13 and 98.

That represents the term and worth of the contract Craig Leipold signed him to back in 2012.
