this is too niceGet it done.
1. Zaitsev (4.5M x 2 years) + Joseph (3M x 4 years) + Thomson + 1st/2nds x 2 for Parayko (6.5M x 8 years)
2. Debrincat 8.2M x 7 years (Tkachuk's deal)

Weegar much worse than his last couple of years, unless it’s a Calgary thing.Parayko has slowed down this year which is concerning
Weegar is having another great year and might have less mileage on his body
Apparently Petry available
I suppose one school of thought is that Parayko could play out like Weber did for the Habs. He would be a perfect fit for us for the next few seasons, but I imagine that with his back problems, there's a very high likelihood of him getting LTIRetired towards the end of the contract.
That’s not the case anymore.View attachment 654309
Let's not complicate this. If Parayko is available, get him.
6'6 two way (more defensive minded) defenseman that skates like the wind and won a cup. He's exactly what the organization has been missing for a decade plus. 6.5M is of no concern in the short term, especially if Zaitsev and Joseph are headed out. 8 years is a concern, but not so much with the cap rising as there'll always be a market for defensemen with Parayko's pedigree.
It is maddening isn't it?I mean at some point we gotta stop caring so much about the future. Figure out the contract a few years from now
Every legit top 4 is gonna be 5+ mil
So Marino had too much term but Parayko’s our guy? Sure.
Better player
Your giving up potential 2 first round picksill chime into the Parayko trade offers
To St Louis
Lassi Thomson
2024 Washington Second Rounder / Conditional*
Nikita Zaitsev
*Condition on the pick. If Ottawa makes the playoffs in 2023 it will become a 2023 first rounder, if Ottawa makes the playoffs in 2024 it would become a 2024 first rounder.

To those who will say its not enough of a package for a top 4 right shot D.
Parayko will be 30 next year, has logged 550+ NHL games while playing a demanding style of hockey, and has 7 more years after this one with a 6.5M cap hit there is significant risk that he can depreciate before even the halfway mark of the contract.
Yup I’m not trading Kleven or Ostapchuk eitherTo me Ostapchuk and Kleven are on the do not trade list.
Kleven for obvious reasons that have been highlighted recently about his leap in development to go along with his skating, size, meanness, and what is apparently an absolute bomb of a slapper. He’s also a D and even as an LD he can potentially make a guy like Branny available for assets Instead.
Ostapchuk is looking great, and sounds like the type of guy you want around when the play offs come. Just an absolutel workhorse willing to do anything for the team, with size speed, skill, and smarts to go with it. If he tops out at a third liner he’ll be one hell of a player, but he’s the type of guy that has the potential to figure it out, or put it all together.
I’d trade all other prospects before those two.
no just one. if the sens make the playoffs in 23 the condition is met and thats it.Your giving up potential 2 first round picks
