As multiple sources keep coming in it looks like the Blues and Ryan Suter will not be reaching a deal.

Initially it looks like although both sides had good interest, Suter is asking for a longer deal than the Blues can currently feel comfortable offering him.

As Andy Strickland states a potential 4-year deal is what Ryan Suter is throwing out there for his next contract.

Told #stlblues are out on Dman Ryan Suter. There was very strong mutual interest but St. Louis couldn’t meet the term. Don’t be surprised if Suter signs for as many as four years.

This of course doesn’t mean the Blues are officially out on signing Suter but it’s not looking likely anymore as we inch closer to NHL free agency this upcoming Wednesday.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
