I don't think they were seriously going to move Colten anyway. Not unless someone drastically overpaid for him.

The price won’t drop, the offers will just change. Rather than a 2018 first they will be 2019.

If the Blues are dead set on trading him, he will be dealt. But unless their price is ridiculously high, they should not drop it.

With their recent addition of Evan Bouchard it looks like the Oilers will no longer be a player in the Parayko sweepstakes. Do we see his price drop now due to a Blues team trying to win during their "window"?
I would guess there are still plenty of teams kicking the tires,looking for top 4D.
Do not see his value taking a hit because 1 team drops out of the bidding

They were never shopping him. They were "listening," just like every team does with virtually every player.

It just so happens that a lot of teams need guys like him right now, so there's a lot of interest, and thus a lot of speculation/rumors from people trying to connect the dots.

So because your little dream of getting CP for Klef and the 10th didn’t happen, you now need to start this thread. Blues fans shoot you down over the value and now you think it is lower because you took a prospect in the draft? You couldn’t even explain why the Blues would be a better team with Klef and the 10th. I know CP to Edmonton fills a huge need for the Oilers, but you were never able to explain the need being filled by the Blues.

Please show me some proof that CP was even on the block. Other the some writer/blogger in Edmonton speculating to get click bait, I have seen nothing that said the Blues were shopping him.

How many trades happened yesterday? All the insiders were trying to generate revenue from clicks. Most is just speculation based on UFA status going into this year. Armstrong himself in an interview earlier this week stated it was a quite market place and not much seemed to be going on.

Why do the Blues want to move him in the first place?

Buyers remorse with that contract? 5.5m/yr, has only produced 35~pts when at that price he should be closer to 45+ and playing some fantastic defense, maybe?

Because if the Blues are moving him, outside of some random Oilers wanting him rumors that I have only heard attached to Parayko's name, I would be curious if the Pens were ever interested since JR wants a RHD.

But it seems like this was just some trumped up Oilers rumor that seemed to gain traction (not any legit one) and then didn't after the draft and literally no one cared?

Parayko is a solid defender, probably was never ever on the block and some Oilers fan boy started the rumor and it was some how reported in outlets, more of a sad thing about the media than it ever even based on actual facts or rumors.

According to Rishaug and Friedman his name was being heavily floated in trade talks, not fair to a player to do that if you're not serious in moving him imo.


Rumors don't mean the team is actually shopping a player . It was rumoured that Edmonton was shopping Talbot only to find out it isn't true

Bouchard doesn't eliminate the Oilers need for Parayko. The Oil get Parayko and they can bring Bouchard along slowly, as it isn't fair to expect Bouchard to contribute this year. Not sure why the Blues would move him anyway.

Interesting. Now the Blues fans can go out again overestimating their own players while lowballing the rest of the league with their berglund + blais + 2nd for every elite players on market stating « we don’t need player X but let me push this garbage offer anyway and if you ever laugh I’ll say your player is trash and we donn’t need/want him anyway »

Same old, same old.

Your worthless “Parayko to Edmonton” thread finally got closed at 2AM this morning so you feel a need to start another Parayko/EDM thread an hour later? Why don’t you just let it die?

Also, there is no “Parayko sweepstakes”. He was never on the block. What part of “teams are calling on Parayko” don’t you understand. Show me one reliable source that says Parayko is being shopped.

I dont see how drafting bouchard would eliminate the oilers desperate need for an established defender. Bouchard might might end up as a quality PP QB but its unlikely he ends up a better all around defender then parayko

Does this really need a thread? You just trying to start another pissing match? His price won’t drop cause one team dropped out and hell we don’t even know that the Oilers are no longer interested.
