Dri is good but Lol that has to be the most ridiculous one sided trade idea I have ever seen seen here. Wow just WOW! You must have some really good smoke.
Parayko is 26 and signed for 3 more years. He’ll not only get a raise, there’s no guarantee he wouldn’t go to UFA. He’s a legitimate #1 RD. Over the last 3 years he’s 39th in points among defensemen. He’s a great shutdown D but it’s highly unlikely his offensive production is going to drastically rise.
Draisaitl is 23 and signed for 6 more years. Over the last 3 years Draisaitl is 7th overall in points. He’s a legitimate superstar .
I already stated in a vacuum the two are closer in value but I would still value Draisaitl > Parayko. Add in the fact he’s 3 years younger, signed for twice as long, and the value has to be adjusted.
Kyrou is a great prospect but right now that’s all he is. He’s proven nothing at the NHL level. Most likely the Blues 1st round pick would be a late 1st. First round picks are nice but they don’t come with a guarantee.
Sanford is a meh depth guy you hope has upside. Blais is a legitimate bottom 6 player who might graduate to a top 6 role due to his work ethic.
I don’t get high and unlike another comment (grass is always greener) I said the proposals were for fun and I wasn’t saying the Blues need or should make a trade.
Reading comprehension comes in handy and is probably enhanced when not inhaling.
Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion but if you posted Parayko for Draisaitl straight up on the main boards I’m extremely confident you would find most other opinions wouldn’t come close to saying that’s in the realm of fairness.
