Eklund Rumor: Parayko to mtl

[Ezpz]

He's a few years younger than Savard. Not exactly the age group we're looking to add. Particularly for a guy who has a lot of years left in a period his body should be expected to break down.

St. Louis also aren't really capable of blowing it up with their core. Their system doesn't have a new core or replacements in it already and they have a lot of guys who still have productive years left and no real pending free agents. Guys like Schenn, Hayes, and Saad who are declining aren't moveable right now. Their system is pretty empty too. Habs 6th rounder Eriksson is having a better year than Stenberg who they took in the first round. Dvorsky couldn't crack his European team so downgraded to the OHL. Bolduc isn't anything to write home about. They have a few good secondary players in there. Why then would they break up their core with no replacements in sight and no path forward? If they're scorched earth you'd think they'd start with Kyrou and Thomas. They're not going to sell just because they're not in a playoff spot. They can't commit to a rebuild with their current structure.

Not sure where to even begin.

I guess start with the Blues are actually in a playoff position as of right now.

It’s not worth explaining the depth of the Blues prospects because it’s a moot point, and if you can’t get the team standings correct, it’s probably not worth the time.

How is this even a thread?

This is just a comically bad read of the Blues prospect pool and roster situation.

I saw a post on Eklund in another thread. I rarely come to the rumors section. Is Eklund still a thing? He can't possibly be.. He flamed out over 15 years ago. Parayko will land in Montreal when the Kostitsyn's return..

Blue chips - snuggy dvorsky
A prospects - stenberg, lindstein bolduc zherenko
B dean plekrik gaudette buchinger loof
Rookies - neighbors kessel

Ppg Young core- thomas kyrou
Vet core - buch schenn parayko faulk krug

Sorry bro but you just are missinformed.

 

[ole ole]

Doesn't matter what anyone thinks about Parayko .
Habs have no interest in trading valuable assets for a 30 yr old player.
The Blues need to find a different dance partner.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Why actually?

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

Habs are not competitive until he is like 34 and he has a full NTC

 

[Captain97]

2 of our arguably top 3 best prospects are Big RHD. Why would we trade for a 30 year old with term?

I love Parayko, but it definitely ain't a fit.

Snuggerud,

B dean plekrik gaudette buchinger loof
Rookies - neighbors kessel

Ppg Young core- thomas kyrou
Vet core - buch schenn parayko faulk krug

Sorry bro but you just are missinformed.

None of those guys are blue chips. Habs have 10-20 blue chips if dvorsky is in that category. Most of your 'a' prospects aren't even projecting as NHLers.

Snuggerud is being outscored by rhett pitlick who the Habs aren't even going to sign. Snug is a good prospect but he's not a blue chipper. He was leeching off of Cooley last year.

Pitlick is an a prospect according to your low standard.

To the other guys, I guess we have different definitions of what a playoff team is. Holding the final wildcard spot by less than a game with 30 games left doesn't scream playoff team. To me a playoff team is a team that is 99% likely to make the playoffs.

Regardless, blues are in the beginning of no man's land but they're closer to contending than they are rebuilding. They're the team that needs to add an O'Reilly caliber core piece to their team again. Tbh they should have swung on Benson or Perreault instead of a safe 30 point girgensons.

The Habs are not looking to add vets that age. Especially not to give up one of our now bestowed by you 20 blue chips for a guy who will start declining as we enter our prime. Breaking the bank and overpaying for Dobson would make a ton of sense; Paryko not so much.

tell the habs to stop calling then man, your team is sending all the wrong signals to eklund apparently

Obviously your team has only blue chips. It’s a eklund rumor thread no reason to go down the bunny hole.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

I mean, yeah, he would be great on the Habs.

But it's so random given our rebuild situation, we're not contending, and it probably won't be til 25-26 when we should start at least being in bubble/wild card discussions.

Anyway, just another rumor...

 

[V13]

This doesn't really make sense for the Blues POV

That doesn't make sense for anyone involved

Habs are rebuilding and the pipeline is full of promising young Ds. In fact there is a jam and some of them will have to be traded for a forward. I have nothing against Parayko but he doesn't fit the actual context of the Habs , both in age and what we need.

If the rumor was about Buchnevich or Kyrou it would make more sense. But then again this is Eklund. Making sense and Eklund just don't go in the same sentence

You literally said "They're not going to sell just because they're not in a playoff spot."

This is completely different from saying:

To me a playoff team is a team that is 99% likely to make the playoffs

You are arguing with yourself. I simply pointed out that you were mistaken by saying the Blues were not in a playoff spot. You don't get to then change the definition by qualifying markers that only you presume.

How does a goofy made up Eklund "rumor" become a pissing match of prospects?

Montreal does not have 10-20 blue chip prospects... no team does. I will quantify "prospect" by saying they are players not in the NHL.

You are obviously down on some Blues prospects and very high on Habs prospects. Most fans think more highly of their own prospects than what their true nature is. That's a fact and it's ok.

As I said before, it's not worth having an educated discussion about the Blues pipeline because it doesn't matter. This entire thread is goofy. The Habs are rebuilding. The Blues need Parayko to anchor the D. It's Eklund.... close thread

 

[Danarqhy]

LOL about the dumbest "rumor" I've heard of recently, and that's saying something considering all the dumb rumors we hear about on this site.

 

[waitin425]

Ha! Eklund.

 

[jellybeans]

Saw that on hockey buzz. Just thought i would post it.

You realize your not doing yourself any favors by using eklund the clown has info.

 

[ole ole]

Blues are not trading parayko

And the Habs are not interested in acquiring him so shut it down.

 

[Robtom18]

I could really careless. Just posted it. Dont like it dont read it. Pretty simple.

And the Habs are not interested in acquiring him so shut it down.

Agreed thank you sir and have a great day

 

[ToniJ1960]

The Blues have no such need

 

[ole ole]

The Blues have no such need

Exactly. The Blues have no interest in trading him and the Habs have no interest in acquiring him. Makes no sense for either team. At least we agree.
Stupid thread.

So why add to the stupidity with a claim you disagree with yourself weird

 

[ole ole]

So why add to the stupidity with a claim you disagree with yourself weird

What are you talking about. The only thing i said was the Habs have no interest in giving assets up for a 30 yr old player.

Not stupidity. Just not the player we want with the direction we are going because of age. If you can't understand that well.....
