Contrary to a report that suggested Ryan Suter had closed in on a decision and selected the Detroit Red Wings as his new team, Neil Sheehy, his agent, says no decision has been made. Immediately there was an explosion of excitement when it looked like Suter had decided to become a Red Wing, but that excitement quickly disappeared when reality set in.
Sheehy again says Suter has made no decision and they have "much to consider;" talked to him once since 11 #mnwild #nhl #preds #redwings

Red Wings general manager Ken Holland indirectly confirmed that Suter has not yet picked a team by sending the following text out to the media:
From DET GM Ken Holland: "Everything is media rumors at this time." #RyanSuter

Suter very well may come to a decision shortly, and the Red Wings very well may be the team he ends up picking. For now, though, nothing has been decided.
