Is Ryan Suter the left-shot defenseman the Boston Bruins need?
In 2020-21, Ryan Suter averaged 17:50 of even-strength ice time per game. He attempted 145 shots at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick. He logged 1,242:17 of total ice time.Had he worn Black and Gold, Suter would have led all left-shot defensemen in these categories.Suter is not what he once was. Not many 36-year-olds are.But Suter, an unrestricted free agent following his Minnesota buyout , has 1,198 games of NHL experience. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder takes regular shifts in every situation (2:00 average ice time on the penalty kill, 2:20 on the power play). He is not shy about shooting pucks.
