It's funny how last year there was a dump for dump trade proposal Miller for parayko and neither team wanted the others trash

Neither player was trash to begin with. One misinformed columnist wrote an article and included Parayko on his worst contacts list and mainstream hockey fans who don't follow the Blues took it as fact. $6.5 million for a big, all-situations D who can skate very well seems like a good deal to me. I can see why the Oilers wouldn't wanna lock themselves into that contract due to their own cap issues and the need to resign the big two in a couple years, but I also think a lot of people are underestimating Parayko as a player. His departure would leave a huge hole on a Blues blue line that already has a couple holes in it, and I hope they don't trade him at all.
They are not under
They know exactly how good he is. edm fans just want to undercut his value and fleece stl lol

From a Blues perspective, why on Earth would they trade Parayko unless someone is overpaying like crazy for him?
Ecactly.the minutes this guy eats up. His skating ability and his size. For only 6.5.
No it's fine you keeping the guy but it's like tales of his demise have been greatly exaggerated last year ?
But you see it happen with other players too
I mean you can find the threads with stl fans trying to dump him last year but again a fan base isn't a monolith

I’d say the overall pulse from the fan base has never been to dump Parayko. The overall pulse has been begging them to get someone to play with him since JBo had to retire.
But in general you’re right. The sky is always falling, or it’s the best thing ever for a large majority of fans. Thankfully it’s why none of us are in the position to make the actual moves.

Particularly since nobody had made an offer of any kind before that poster ran full speed into a brick wall demanding Bouchard and two firsts... Can't claim everyone else's offers were shit when the first shit offer in the thread WAS YOUR OWN

Nobody here thinks they have the authority to actually make a trade. Nobody thinks these discussions will actually lead to a fleecing. You're just bent out of shape because your Bouchard and multiple firsts proposal was beaten down.

He's probably content even if we went into a full rebuild, since the organization fits him like a glove.
Although the Oilers are probably one of the few teams that he would not mind a long term stay for, since he has many ties to that area.

Mmm, I'm not sure where you see people touting Miller or Parayko as cap dumps. Last year, the concern was that neither one would be able to get full value on the trade market, due to the concern with lengths of contracts. At no point would anyone suggest that their values are negative.
If you look at 6.5 AAV in 2030, it is likely going to be somewhere equivalent to 5M today, which is completely doable even for #3-4 D. Even if he goes into decline, he will definitely be serviceable as a complementary D at that point. Maybe slightly overpaid in 2030, but definitely not into the cap dump category.
No it not easy but look at this way. If Campbell was playing good NHL caliber we would have him on the team and would be stuck with that cap. Moving Ceci and Campbell is more than enough and it doesn't mean anything in re-signing Draisaitl or anyone else.
The Blues could still end up passing the Oilers in points once the Oilers hit their inevitable losing streak from fatigue and garbage scoring depth.
Im not bent out of shape. I am calling out the stupidity of some posters. My bouchard and multiple firsts was a statement saying that is what it would take to get him from blues. Vast overpayment. Is was a sirect result of th crap offers in this and other threads. Broberg bourgault and late first while taking ceci back as cap dump. There were several others.
Edm fans.
Make up fake rumors
Degrade player
State player is over paid and not worth it.
Offer poop poop and more poop.
Get mad you wont take poop for your player.
Wash rinse repeat.
Blues are looking better lately. Krug is finally figuring it out. Faulk should be back soon. Kessel has beem very good for rookie. Binnington and hofer have been lights out.
Campbell is going to be a tough cookie to unload. Thats going to take a first or buy out. Ceci you could probably move. With that said. You are better off finding a ufa. You just dont have the assets to get parayko. It would cause a huge hole for blues and costa ton.of assests. Blues are more likely to build around parayko and not take anything short of a kings ransom.

You aren't helping anything by painting every fan in a fanbase with the same brush. You have brought a lot of the negativity in this discussion yourself. You can do better.
Did 1 say everyone nope. You can do better as well. Call your fellow edm fans out. Instead of giving me crap for voice a legitmate and well informed objection to pure crap.
I don't think St. Louis would trade Parayko while they are battling for a playoff spot. That seems like more of an offseason move if they decide to retool with assets.

We're on the same side, but take a chill pill. You're pushing a bit too hard in this thread IMO. By the way, you aren't Colt55 are you? I'm getting those vibes.

So edm being 3 points ahead of blues means that they are going to be sellers. I am not sure i understand what you are trying to say.
