A lot has changed in Ryan Suter's world over the last few weeks. There's one constant in his hometown that he can come back to.
The Dallas Stars, fresh off their second straight appearance in the NHL Western Conference final, bought out the final year of the defenseman's contract June 28.
Suter, a Madison native and former University of Wisconsin player with 19 years of NHL experience, was back on the free agent market and had decisions to make about his future. His family is planning a move back to Minnesota, where he played nine of those years.
He signed a one-year deal with the St. Louis Blues on July 10, setting him up for the season in which he'll turn 40.

Along with those weighty matters, Suter has been involved in putting together the guest list for the fourth edition of the Bob Suter Memorial Classic, set for July 31 at Bob Suter's Legacy20 Arena in Middleton.
That's where he can look forward to a lighthearted night to continue the work his dad, Bob, made a priority before he died in 2014: Reduce the barriers to young people getting into hockey.
"It's a fun time to be putting on your skates and not have to worry about a big game," Ryan Suter said. "You can sit and talk and joke around and then after have a couple beers. ... During the season, it's intense. Every game matters. Everything matters. To get together for a fun cause where you're going to raise money for charity, I think that's what excites the players to come."

Madison native and former Badgers defenseman Ryan Suter is joining his fourth NHL team after the Dallas Stars bought out the final year of his contract.
The sale of tickets to the Bob Suter Memorial Classic (priced at $20 to $40) and a pregame autograph session ($25) goes toward purchasing sets of hockey equipment for youth hockey associations. Current and former NHL players and those connected to the Badgers men's and women's hockey teams, the Madison Capitols and the rest of hockey in the area are planning to take part.
The game's goal and its namesake are connected. Ryan Suter said it took a while to come up with the right idea for a charity outing that could be more than a one-year item.
"I feel like it's the perfect thing, to donate hockey equipment," he said. "That's what my dad was all about. My dad had the sporting goods store on the East Side. A lot of kids have gone through that store and have gotten a lot of free stuff from that store. So it was just a perfect fit for us to pair the charity game with donating hockey equipment."
Suter got a jolt when the Stars bought out his contract before the start of free agency. He had the same happen in 2021, when Minnesota broke ties with four years left on his deal.
"Right away when it happened, I was like, 'Well, what the heck?'" Suter said. "They just told me I had a great year. And I know I had a good year. We went to the conference finals two years in a row. So I knew I could still play. It was just the fact of, man, I just got bought out again for no reason. But whatever."
He played all 82 regular-season games and 19 more in the playoffs in each of the last two years but his ice time has been decreasing.
The Blues gave him a one-year, $775,000 contract that has bonuses of up to $2.225 million based on the number of games he plays and whether the team makes the playoffs. Suter said it'll probably be a yearly decision whether he'll continue after that.
"I'm a pretty good evaluator of myself," Suter said. "If I thought that I was done, I would be done."
Being back in the Midwest was a factor in Suter signing with St. Louis, he said.
"And then just the opportunity that they're going to give me," Suter said. "Have a good partner and play more and be a bigger part of the organization."
Suter, who owns the Madison Capitols United States Hockey League team that plays out of the Middleton venue formerly known as Capitol Ice Arena, joined the USHL's executive committee this offseason. The Capitols are preparing for their 10th season in this incarnation — a team with the same name existed from 1984 to 1995 — and Suter said "the sky's the limit" for the league.
He's not sure when he'll be done playing but a more hands-on approach to day-to-day activities at the rink might not be a part of his retirement.
"I'll be bored," Suter said with a laugh. "They'll probably be trying to find me something to keep me out of here."
