Awesome deal for the Blues.

 

[LTIR]

Great deal for STL

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

That seems very reasonable

 

[Theodore450]

Awesome deal

 

[StlBill]

With how much AAV was being thrown around to dman this off-season, this is a great deal.

 

[voxel]

Fantastic deal. Especially the AAV.

 

[The Nuge]

Wow. That’s a steal. The term is a potential issue, but you can’t argue it when you get the AAV down that low

 

[Hale The Villain]

Not sure how Parayko only gets 6.5M x 8YRs when Nurse and Jones get over 9M x 8YRs.

Great deal for the Blues.

 

[CanadienShark]

Sweet deal for the Blues. Wow.

 

[Eggtimer]

Very good deal for the Blues. Especially considering what other D signed this off-season. Takes a lot of stress off of Blues fans and management that they don’t have to worry about losing him.

 

[Spilot23]

Wow great deal for the Blues !! I would've expected something like 7,5 or 8M$ considering what Jones and Nurse got.

 

[Gainesvillain]

Dammmn, Well done STL.




Colton Parayko earning just $500,000 more than Jesperi Kotkaniemi in 2 years....

 

[DRW204]

good deal for STL especially compared to couple of other high-profile Dmen signings this year. dependent on his back of course think for the most part back injuries get worse when you age?

sidenote: the much maligned 2012-Draft really has put out quality D and G's. The Fwds lack big-time, but idk if many drafts have the depth of great Dmen or Goalies as this one.

 

[Revansky]

Amazing deal for Parayko and Stl.

 

[Tvillewr419]

Letssssss go! 8 more years of CP55

 

[Eggtimer]

Not sure how Parayko only gets 6.5M x 8YRs when Nurse and Jones get over 9M x 8YRs.

Great deal for the Blues.

Because of points production . Right or wrong it has a big effect on contracts . Look at what a Pelech got. He is a stud but doesn’t put up that many points yet is a very good D .

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Lol love it

One of the best shutdown players in all of hockey when healthy

 

[spockBokk]

A reasonable contract for a top 4 RD, what sort of bizarro world is this?

He should fire his agent…heh

 

[ATdaisuki]

Big fan of this one.

 

[Nocashstyle]

That’s a great deal

 

[Mike Liut]

Parayko’s back hindered his play this year. When healthy, he’s a top 15 Dman in the league.

We will still a parayko trade thread within the month on the main forum
