Detroit wanted to bring back Suter on a one year deal. This from Kevin Allen who covers the red wings.
#LGRW# reporter @ByKevinAllen on Pius Suter:
"A great pickup...they [Detroit] wanted to give Suter a one-year deal...consistent, two-way player, coaches & teammates like him, PK, analytics are good...he could be a 20-goal scorer."

So makes you wonder, Canucks sign Suter on Friday, they regroup on weekend and put an offer for Backlund today? Trying to read the tea leaves. Description of Suter fits Backlund to a tee. And he’s got a one year deal to boot. And red wings have the cap room.
