Suter will make 10M a year, on average, for the first 8 years of his contract that will will see him turn 35. He still have 18M left on his contract after.
Subban will have the highest cap-hit, but his 72M contract is significantly lower than Suter's 98M contract and especially Weber's 110M contract, so I wouldn't say he's the highest paid defenseman at all.
