Dreger: Parayko trade talks heating up

[SenzZen]

I think Parayko is on his way to Detroit. Yzerman and Armstrong have a great relationship, Detroit has an empty slot on RHD and Yzerman loves big, huge defensemen.

I’m thinking the same after seeing Hronek moved.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Detroit can get Trouba for less years soon I bet

Don't see Trouba waiving considering how badly he wanted to be in New York.

 

[Homesick]

Too many whispers about his back and real money is going to be 24m over the next 3 years

 

[BlueTacos]

But why would we want to?

I think prospect 4 and 5 in your fold isn't a huge ask. Johanson and wallinder are two good defensive prospects. You still have your top c and top d prospects.

The whispers are the same whispers that ror was in decline and broken, or that tarasenkos shoulder would never be the same.

My question was in regards to why we would want to ever trade for Trouba.

 

[Blueston]

To make the money work, we’d have to send Ceci and Yamamoto the other way. Don’t really see how the Blues can scoff at that, as what team can take on that 8 year contract and not send money back with term?

Ceci, Yamamoto, 2024 1st, Borgault, cond 2023 pick (3rd that becomes a 2nd if we make the finals)

I think this is reasonable. Depends on how much we like bourgault But that could work for both teams.

 

[Stealth JD]

I'd trade Parayko for both of Detroits 1st rounders and STL's 2nd rounder back for this year's draft.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

I'd trade Parayko for both of Detroits 1st rounders and STL's 2nd rounder back for this year's draft.

I'd drink water in the desert on a hot day.

 

[ThankGord]

I'd trade Parayko for both of Detroits 1st rounders and STL's 2nd rounder back for this year's draft.

Wouldn’t touch that as a Detroit fan.

 

[TGOSnipes99]

Hadn't Parayko said that if ever has to waive his NTC, he'd pretty much only waive it to Edmonton

I haven't heard anything about him and Edmonton rumor wise

I thought cgy might get desperate and try nabbing him

 

[Oddbob]

I'd trade Parayko for both of Detroits 1st rounders and STL's 2nd rounder back for this year's draft.

Detroit won't be trading their 1st this year for anyone.

 

[PajamaBoy]

Detroit won't be trading their 1st this year for anyone.

Especially this pleb

 

[GreatGordie9]

I'd have him rated lower than both Chychrun and Ekholm by a fair margin. That contract scares me.

You never know what Stevie Y may do. Colton could end up in Detroit.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

The whispers are the same whispers that ror was in decline and broken, or that tarasenkos shoulder would never be the same.

Blues fans were more than leading the charge on Tarasenko.

Armstrong will just make him go to wherever Armstrong wants him to go.

No, I have no clue how that's going to work either. Just ignore it for the sake of others' self-delusion.

Blues fans told everyone he would be good to go. Then he scored 80 pts. It was everyone else who said he was worthless.

 

[GreatGordie9]

Stevie get it done. I could see it Hagg, Pysk, Lindstrom may be gone after this year. We have too many third pair D

That's a very reasonable package. Nice work. At the end of the day I still think the Blues would hold out for a package that includes a young defenseman with Top 4 potential.

 

[Oddbob]

Correction we have too many 7th D, which is what these 3 are. Pysyk is 5-6 at best.

 

[Vitto79]

Modified no trade sookn

 

[EurlichBachman]

Parayko is from St. Albert, and his entire family lives in the Edmonton area. I absolutely think he'd waive for Calgary.

Calgary is also an infinitely better city than St Louis.

right... thats why all their talent couldnt wait to leave.

 

[rumrokh]

right... thats why all their talent couldnt wait to leave.

Huh?

 

[Frenzy31]

Huh?

Calgary.

 

[rumrokh]

Calgary.

Eh. I don't really like the weird city vs. city pride and bickering that goes on here. If players want to leave a team, it could easily have to do with travel and the organization and perceived team trajectory rather than the city, itself. People are largely just projecting.

 

[EastVillageBlues]

How much more value can we get, if say we retained 1.5M per year?

Not offering, just a question.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Blues fans told everyone he would be good to go. Then he scored 80 pts. It was everyone else who said he was worthless.

Maybe not here, but I can recall countless comments from Blues fans elsewhere that Tarasenko's shoulder was shot after the 3rd surgery. He didn't have strength in it, he couldn't shoot accurately because of it, he wouldn't take a hit because he knew it would pop out, ... the entire works. He'd go say 3 games without a goal, and all the comments came out.

And then those same people got really quiet when he was scoring goals and putting up points.
