To move him at all during the season has to be for the right return. A quality d-man has to come back our way along with a scorer at a minimum. For anything less, keep Suter as our "rental" and try to get something for his rights after the season.

And right there lies the key to the whole situation. Sutes needs to let Poile know his intentions, and the sooner the better. If he wants to test free agency or play for another team, I have no problem with that. Just let Poile know so he can maximize the return.
