«When everything first happened, you're in shock, I didn't receive a call, I didn't know what to say. I was in shock, I couldn't believe it was happening. I know that I've played solid and I know that I have a lot more to give.»
And clearly teams out there also knew he had more in the tank as Suter explained how flattening it was - and stupid of the Wild - to get some many calls and interest from rival clubs.
«Further along you think this is a great opportunity for me to pick a team that has a chance to win a Stanley Cup. I was telling (Jim) Nill that I feel like I'm 27 again with all of these teams calling and GMs from other teams really trying to get me to come there.
«And so you go from a low to an ultimate high as a player. As a professional athlete, you want to be wanted and it was very eye-opening to see all the options that we had.»
«To win a Stanley Cup would mean the world to me, and that's what I'm going to Dallas to do.»
