"Today I have been on the phone chasing this rumor…According to my source"

Yeah on the phone, calling his mother to ask if he should put whites in with his colours...make sure you only do it with hot water...

Unless his source is Chiarelli, because trading someone you just signed seems like a Chiarelli move.

Highly doubt it. If the Sens trade him all this well do is further aggravate fans who are tired of losing stars.

Not like Parayko is cheap with his new $6,5M per contract.
i guess $6.5 million is a lot of money no matter what, but considering parakyo's contract to be too much seems a bit out of tune. you can pay up to $3m more and get nurse, who puts up slightly less points and gives you less shutdown defense if you actually want that "he's not cheap either" comeback to land.

Is it really that hard to believe the Blues could be interested in Tkachuk, and when they ask Ottawa what it would take, Ottawa says Parayko?

Everyone is too busy hating Eklund, and I get it, and this is some nothing speculation because ultimately St. Louis won't pull the trigger, but the report itself seems reasonable.

Sure, but that puts it on the level of any random HF poster saying X team is interested in Y available player and that team will request Z player from that team.

And Ottawa asking for Parayko, really doesn't make sense.

You basically hit the issue on the head, while saying everyone is too busy to see it. It's an obvious guess being presented as an insider rumor.

Freidman hears stuff and guesses stuff all the time, but you always know when he is doing one or the other.

I am just saying from a Sens owner Melnyk point of view. If someone is saying that Brady wants "too much money" then what is too much? Is $6.5M for a dman who is 6 years older too much for Melnyk?

Isn't the OP literally
"Blues are interested in Tkachuk. Ottawa interested in Parayko".

nowhere did I get the sense that Blues are interested in trading Parayko, just that Ottawa would like him.

It's cute and all but not sure if this is going anywhere

Seems sorta pointless for Sens to do this.. if they were in a position to make a push in next few years, sure... but they aren't contending for a while. Just pay Tkachuk what he wants(it's gonna happen.. it always does with all the young guys around the league) and prepare for the future with Tkachuk as a main piece

I love Parayko but by the time Sens are ready to contend, parayko will be probably 33/34 years old and not nearly the stud he is now

HockeyBuzz.com - Eklund - Source: Sens and Blues Have Talked About Tkachuk Trade. Parayko?

As per Eklund...

There is no secret that the Blues would love to bring in Tkachuk. The only name that appears to have gotten the attention of Ottawa is Colton Parayko…The talk now has not involved any other players or prospects I am told…

Will update with any new info…

Would you make that trade?
:laugh: Why keep posting Eklund BS? Armstrong isn't dealing Parayko after just giving him a new 8 year extension. Tkachuk isn't getting dealt anytime soon.
