Since Suter signed with the Wild, Nashville has made the playoffs 7 times and won 5 playoff rounds with one trip to the Final. They've finished first in their Division twice and won the President's Trophy once.
In the same time, the Wild have made the playoffs 8 times and won 2 playoff rounds, never going beyond the second round and never finishing higher than second in their Division.
At the time, a lot of people were saying that Nashville couldn't afford to lose Weber and/or Suter, but looking back, their most-successful seasons have come with neither player on their roster.

There never is a guarantee of success. You simply do what you can to increase your chances.
