Eklund Rumor: Parayko to mtl

[Linkens Mastery]

This doesn't really make sense for the Blues POV

This doesn't really make sense for the Blues POV

It doesn't make sense from the Habs POV either.

But Eklund's rumours never make sense other than recycled rumours from other sources.

 

[JustAHabFan]

The ask would be 1st unprotected this year. Gotta be

Montreal unprotected 1st in the upcoming draft for Parayko? Is this what you mean?

 

[Raistlin]

Eklund is like the Jack Edwards of insiders. As in, what is he doing still doing what he is doing?

 

[mkatcherin00]

Gotta give this dude credit. Been around since that 2004 lockout and even had an embarassing segment with SNET back in the day and he is still around lol

 

[McSuper]

Well big RHD to Montreal makes sense.
6.5M for next 6 seasons and dmen like Parayko are usually pretty good for a long time no?


But how often do big RHD signed for years with a decent cap hit get traded?

There was also a rumour last year, more speculation I am guessing that he would only waive for Edmonton. Too lazy to look it up right now new meds for my pinched nerve in my neck has me wiped out. Altho I did post it not long ago

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

So, what eklund means is that a trade in the NHL is going to happen soon.

 

[Mr Positive]

I guess because they got Weber once??

 

[JustAHabFan]

I guess because they got Weber once??

It just doesn't make any sense. The Habs need young scoring forwards. They have a surplus of young defenseman. They are not making the playoff. Why do they need Parayko?

He is not being traded. Its never been a thing. Please show me a ligitamte article stating this.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Parayko is not being traded. Period. People speculating are as clueless as Eklund. There is no logic to it.

It makes far less sense for the Habs when they are a half decade away from competing, if they're lucky.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

This could not make less sense

Why actually?

Parayko would be a beast with the Habs exactly what we need at RHD

 

[mattyboy]

parayko for Savard and Gally?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

parayko for Savard and Gally?

Downgrade from Parayko to Savard and for their trouble they get the Gallagher contract?

 

[3074326]

Doesn't make any sense and the rumor itself seems like pure speculation.

I should start a blog. I can do that.

 

[Spektre]

Feels like we need a Parayko to… for every team

 

[TT1]

 

[Robtom18]

parayko for Savard and Gally?

Ummmm no thanks.

Why actually?

Parayko would be a beast with the Habs exactly what we need at RHD

He is also what blues need.

Curious what you are offering.

 

[CraigBillington]

Not trying to knock the guy, but the fact that it’s 2024 and Eklund still has his own thread tag blows my mind.

I like his “rumors” more than no news at all.

Its more of a warning than a tag

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

No reason for St Louis to trade him. And the assets Montreal have to offer - prospects and draft picks - make no sense to trade at thi point.

 

[CraigBillington]

It doesn't even make sense. The guys been living off breaking the Mike Richards and Jeff Carter trades for like 10-15 years now. But hey, if he's right, people would lose their minds which would be entertaining lol.

There was a point where he had to have had a contact within the organization. Then they brought in Hextall and he became irrelevant when it came to the Flyers too.

 

[pth2]

I just don't see a fit. Parayko's contract will be in its scarily negative years before the Habs core is vaguely close to being ready.

Montreal wants to clear out long-term deals for older players, not add any.

 

[Zonk]

He is not being traded. Its never been a thing. Please show me a ligitamte .

Habs have Guhle/Xhekaj/Struble/Barron/Harris (NHL caliber young D) with Hutson/Reinbacher/Mailloux/Engstrom/Konyushkov coming up.

We also have Matheson/Savard/Kovacevic (vets) on our current roster, just so you get an idea of the logjam we have on D.
