Proposal: Parayko to the Jets

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
  • We're expecting server maintenance on March 3rd starting at midnight, there may be downtime during the work.
Columbus can offer its first, Minnesota first, Sillinger and Malatesta for him which is a better offer

Imagine Parayko - Werenski pair
 
Parayko is a good target for anyone, I said that last year as well. I'm fully on board with dealing Rashevsky and our 1st, but Cole has to be left out of it. There are a lot of reasons why this can backfire on us:

-I'm not sure Parayko and Morrissey have the chemistry to make it work. They were so-so at the Four Nations tournament.
-Trading Perfetti is a non-starter this year. That proposed trade leaves us with a major gap on the second line (in addition to us already needing a 2C) that we will struggle mightily to patch with whatever else is available at the deadline if we don't have our 1st rounder.
-If Ehlers walks in the off-season on top of losing Perfetti, we're in huge trouble on offence. Lambert and Chibrikov aren't ready for that role yet.
-Pionk is UFA, which strains the negotiation to extend him. If he walks because Parayko took his place, that's terrible asset management.

Parayko is at 15 5v5 goals for or something silly like that. He's also our shutdown defenseman.

We trade Parayko and then who exactly plays RD for 20 minutes a night? Faulk and Kessel? I'm not sure that's worth a couple of younger players.

There's no good way for the Blues to trade Parayko. We need to work our way out of the surrounding cast and try and draft a high end RHD if we're going to consider doing that anytime soon. Faulk is ok, not great.

We don't need to maximize assets right now, our forward prospect pool looks really really good and assuming we keep Broberg around after this contract I feel pretty solid that our LHD for the forseeable future is in a decent place between him and Lindstein although there may be a year of a gap in there or two.
 
It instantly crushes the Blues defensively and those picks are outside of the range of the current core. The only reason you'd trade Parayko for multiple firsts is if you're definitely flipping those firsts for a defenseman. These multiple stage trades are such a weird consideration on a fanfiction forum. Not only is that rarely how things actually go, but nobody gets to have fun thinking about even a theoretical future of their team.
 
Perfetti needs to be left out because it makes little sense to weaken the team in another area when you're making a playoff push. That said if he can be swapped for a prospect it could be intriguing.

That said upgrading on Dylan Demelo isn't a huge need imo and I'd rather see those assets being put towards trying to acquire a top 6 C.

Perhaps OP just wanted to see how the Sportsnet offer registered in HFboard world and doesn't actually want to entertain trading #55. One can only hope.

Hard pass (particularly for a deal that includes 2 wingers)
 
Last TDL I vividly remember Kypreos spending weeks before the deadline shooting down any Parayko to Leafs talk because and I quote "his back is messed up".

So now all of a sudden, he under estimated him? No, you specifically were reporting that the rumors around the league was the ability was there but his back brought into question his longevity and ability to play to that level currently.

So what has changed to ease those concerns outside of a 4 game tournament that people are over reacting to (like the WJC)?
 
ooof, that's horrible for the Jets. I understand the Blues would want a haul in return, but that's just completely unreasonable.
