I feel like the average fan would watch edmonton A LOT more often than they would st louis due to the mcdavid factor so this whole "nobody knows how good our players really are cause no one watches us but we know how good everyone else's players really are" doesn't make a lick of sense.

This is true but fans don’t make trades now do they. Klefbom is not worth Parayko and that is a fact, but look what Chi had to give away after they won cups. There is some pain coming for you guys sometime this season, so I would start looking at picking your poison.
First you tell me fans don't make trades then you tell me to start picking my poison? Interesting.
They are both correct though but as a fan your not in control of either. If that wasn’t the case the oilers would never have traded Messier for Bernie Nichols.

Or even a bonafide #1 D-man. Klefbom in my book is a solid(not injury-wise) 2nd pairing guy. He could also come in to assist as a #2 to a real #1.
I got Parayko trade thread bingo! A below average offer, a Colt55 reply, the "he's not worth that" to a more reasonable offer, and now the fans don't make trades platitude. Give me one of those oversized teddy bears.
Faulk is a cap dump at this point and his new deal hasn't even kicked in yet. He's the sole reason the Blues are struggling to find a way to sign Pietrangelo. That was a dumb signing. 7 more years @ $6.5m... yeesh, I want no part of that. You would likely have to add more than Kyrou for any team to consider taking him at full value.

No disrespect to the caliber of player Klefbom is. But this should be an absolute non starter as a base for Parayko. There is probably no player in the league that is suited better for the usage that Parayko is put in to. Balancing out the pairings should not be the priority. Finding a solution of creating cap and then possibly finding a workable deal or role for Faulk while retaining Pietrangelo should be the Blues direction.
Trades aren’t always black and white And quantifiable nor are reactions to said deals. In a world where each player has a quantitative value would this deal be acceptable to Blues fans? More than likely no, but it’s not outlandish. What is outlandish is more so the idea that this would be beneficial to the Blues team make up, either now, or in the future.
I’m sure that we’ll have the same rodeo we are currently having in 2 years with Parayko needing a new contract. But that shouldn’t be a bridge we worry about at the moment given where our core is at.

And yet Chicago still has Keith, Kane, Toews, and seabrook. You keep the players that won you the cup, which the blues would not have won without Parayko. If he is “poison” I’m chugging it.
By all accounts the guy is a humble small town kid. Edmonton is one of the few places I think he would go to if he doesn’t stay.
The talk about the additional year makes up the difference is ridiculous as well.
Larsson for Johnsson is about even but Puljularvi sure isn't returning 15OV.
I do enjoy comments like this. My team will just try and sign Pietrangelo then, despite being in an as bad/worse cap position than the Blues when it comes to adding that contract.
I'd dispute this rather easily. I don't see Johnsson be worth a whole lot. Middle six guy coming off a big injury. $3.4 Million for three more years. Pass. I definitely pushed for Kapanen before the trade.
If the Leafs want to bag a top 4 RHD for Johnsson they're free to try. I can't think of any that are available for that kind of return from the Leafs.
The second part is bang on.

You might be having to give up Kyrou just to get rid of that Faulk deal, now what are you giving us for Klefbom?
Pretty easy pass from the Oil.

We don't want or need Faulk either, and we're definitely not giving up our best D for what is essentially a seven year cap dump at this point.
Let's be very clear here chaotic. An oilers fan proposed trading Kleff for parayko. Blues fans said hells to the no. Then oil fans tried to caress it into a deal. With which we replied how about faulk for klef.
Do you see the pattern or irony in this.
We are not trading parayko for your junk or lesser pieces.
This needs to be closed

Parayko > Klefbom >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Faulk.
It's cute that you're acting like the proposals are anywhere close in value. Everyone gave you pats on the head and agreed Parayko is worth more, there's no need in insulting Klefbom by offering a boat anchor like Faulk for him.
Let me just clear the air for you.
Parayko is not available. Especially for lesser pieces
Faulk is the only rhd available. So if you don't want him then we have nothing to talk about.
We dont care how you value klef we do not need or want him.
Hopefully that makes things crystal clear. Though on a side note. If blues fans didn't have to deal with awefull proposals every deadline and off season for colt then we probably wouldn't be not so nice. Just a thought.

What happened with Chicago doesn't apply at all. Armstrong isn't giving out Kane and Toews-type contracts.

As an Oiler fan I would laugh all the way to the bank with this one, which means it probably isn't a good trade overall. St. Louis will look to move salary out in a variety of other ways before moving Parayko, I don't think they would need to do that. Especially when they would still probably need to find cap space after this trade.

You seem quite angry in a thread where EVERYONE agreed that Parayko has more value than Klefbom. What more do you want? It's not like anyone is besmirching Parayko at all, so I don't understand the anger or the need to make outlandish counters.
Not angry at all. The parayko threads just get old. Here let me trade you a lesser dman a few spare parts and a pick for parayko. We completely ignored what your team needs and just want to offer you three pieces for your one. Lol
It just gets old man. Also we/i wouldn't make outlandish offers in replay to the bad offers made.. if you all would stop making the initial bad offer. Not a hard concept
Honestly I think the next move will be bozak for a pick with 1 mil retention (at most) and dunn for a 1st +.
