On Tuesday the Minnesota Wild made the shocking announcement that they are going to buy out the remaining years on the contracts for Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, taking on a massive salary cap penalty in the coming seasons.
The two arrived in Minnesota back in the summer of 2012 on matching — and massive — 13-year super-contracts that have since been done away with by the league.
The Wild found little success with the duo and are buying them out with four years remaining on those deals.
Why is this relevant to the Pittsburgh Penguins?
