As blues fans, we just don’t like the term of the deal that was signed. We’re afraid we are stuck with it.

Ah ok. That makes sense. Statistically a lot of Blues are not doing great so his numbers did not look all that bad to me. Though, I have not seen Krug play much this season.

He looked off at the beginning of the year (I suspect that he was still being effected by the knee injury last postseason). The 4 games before his last injury he put up 5 points and since returning he's looked much better mobility wise and has put up 4 points in 5 games.
His biggest issue is we have multiple players that can fit his role at lower cap hits. And then we've been playing him with Justin Faulk, and while they played extremely well last season, this season hasn't had the same success.

He is due 8.5M real dollars each of the next two years then 6.5 and 6.0 so I'd be shocked if he were movable and I don't want to pay more than a 3d rounder to move him. He is a small, slow, bottom pairing quality, one way defender who needs massive sheltering and is no longer elite in his one area of skill.
Again, I am not invested in all in him being moved, I do not believe he can be moved without retention the Blues wouldn't IMO consider until at least another two years are off that deal. It won't be terrible to have him on the roster next year as we try for the 2024 #1 overall pick.

Ekblad is the slowest dman on the Panthers not named Staal. I doubt Zito would pull the trigger, but, 5 on 5, Ekblad has been a liability, even with Forsling covering for him.

Last year, they were a very good offensive pairing last year, but benefitted from unsustainable high PDOs, but Krug this year has a PDO of 95.2.

Ekblad doesn't really get much flack because he'll score with his wrister in the slot which is pretty good. I'm probably in the minority, but I think covering for him makes the team worse when it comes to defending the breakaways and his zone coverage and work along the boards is average at best. He's at his best with a speedy defender who can bail him out in transition. It just seems like an opportune time to explore alternatives given the year Florida is having.
A few years ago Parayko was one of the most sought after players. With his new long term extension I see most of the appeal has died down, but for the right trade I’m sure you can have a few teams interested

He’ll bounce back with the right partner.

Just wanted to say Iove the username. Most do not remember him. Second, I think Lafreniere is his clone.

I remember the day he was drafted. Didn’t take long for him to become my favorite blue. Some of the bouts he had and goals he scored. He was fun to watch!
Bouwmeester and Parayko were money during the cup run. He needs a similar Partner. Leddy isn’t close to it.
The same could be said for Petro when he left here. He wanted a whole lot of money and he wasn’t getting any better.

Nurse isn't waiving his NMC for STL.
How about a help each other trade:
To EDM: ROR (50%)+ Parayko (Full) + Acciari
(11.25M)
To STL: Ceci+Foegele+Yamamoto+Bouchard+ Broberg+1st+ Petrov(about 10.5M)

I’d take a 1st and no retention and no contracts sent back.
I’d take a contract back for this year only.

Love that. There's some deep metaphysical stuff in that phrase.

Leddy is very average at everything. He would be ok if we put him with Faulk as a 2nd pairing that got a lot of o zone faceoffs. However, he was brought on to pair with Parayko who is meant to play heavy shut down minutes. I’m sure as you’ve seen. He’s not capable of that.
