Parayko to leafs rumor

[drede]

Seeing some insiders talking about it being a possibility he would be a great partner next to reily if so

No clue how they would make it work cap wise though

 

[Maple Leaf]

Can he play d

Right shot defensive dman I think would be a perfect partner if they can make cap work and he's a big guy

 

[1specter]

No thanks that contract is brutal and he's not what he once was, also 31 years old.

 

[GoonieFace]

6.5 for the next 5 years I think

 

[mikeyz]

To me it’s him or bust. He is exactly what this team needs right now.

It doesn’t matter. If Tre can find a way to make it work he has to. He is the EXACT kind of defencemen this team needs ATM. A right handed defensive guy. A perfect partner For Mo.

I doubt it happens. I don't see us having the assets or cap space to land Parayko, unless someone is retaining 50+%, which means we are giving up a blue-chip (Knies/Cowan) prospect and high draft picks.

 

[Raging Bull]

Links?

 

[pspot]

The reason he would be available and at a cost leafs could get him is because of his age and contract

So how do you fit that under our cap?

 

[ER89]

f*** no to parayko

 

[ToneDog]

So how do you fit that under our cap?

start by 2x retention. do we have 1.625m in cap space free?

He's not the same player he was three years ago. He's a defensive liability. Dude got walked multiple times against the leafs in just two games

Brodie's expiring contract and something of value to STL going the other way

No we do not. we have about 150k in cap space currently.

Easy. Trade/waive Brodie. Addition by subtraction.

A yes for me hope it's true.

We need a slow, overpayed d-man?

Still need to get some retention.

 

[ACC1224]

Seems like a good fit.

Dont have one just heard it on a couple different leaf podcasts

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Would be very happy if it happens. Would be ecstatic if the cost is low. Exactly what we need

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Pagnotta reporting "leafs are sniffing around on..."

Also Walker. Savard as well.

 

[Dreakmur]

So how do you fit that under our cap?

If Liljegren and Jarnkrok go the other way, it can work.

 

[mclaren55]

If Liljegren and Jarnkrok go the other way, it can work.

If they also retain 50% on Parayko, yea.

Kypreos addressed it last night. Some smoke, but no fire yet.
