No way blues do this. Parayko is a nonstarter in talks for him. It’s difficult for other fans to grasp but parayko plays toughest minutes against best players, and while he may just be treading water in them if anyone else on team had to do that they would drown. He protects rest of shallow and often shaky d. But I do think chabot would be of interest to us if deal could be built around guy like krug and prospects or picks.I proposed a swap for Parayko, but the 2 people that replied seemed to think St.Louis wouldn't do it.
It's an avenue I'd explore none the less.
Yeah, this aint it chief.Chabot isn’t a top 100 Dman in the nhl.
he’s probably the 4th best one on his own team.
I was just talking about reputation. The fans lambasted him for years as the whipping boy for the Habs' misfortunes. He certainly was weak defensively early in his career, but once he had the rep, he would get booed mercilessly even though his underlying numbers showed substantial gains.I was thinking a better version of Marc Andre Bergeron
Agreed, if the Blues can find a way to make a deal for Chabot with Prospects+picks we should be all over it. Chabot does feel like an offseason style deal tho.No way blues do this.

well apparently it is, because so many fans of other teams keep making crap offers for him. he ain't being traded absent a MASSIVE return.It's not tough to grasp at all. It's literally the only reason anyone would want him at all. Lol
Meh, the Flames aren't going to intentionally bottom out. And they have 30M in cap space with only 2 NHL defensemen signed for next season. Kylington should be back and maybe Tanev returns as well. But if he doesn't, then safe to say the Flames will be acquiring a top four defenseman one way or the other, especially since the prospect pool on the defensive side of things isn't great.You’re the Flames. Hard to get players there as UfAs in a rebuild so if you feel compelled to waste key draft picks to acquire players that once had promise but aren’t living up to their contracts… swing away.
What’s one more bad contract in Calgary? You’ve got several already. Flames don’t rebuild anyway. They just retool in order to secure the ~11th overall pick in perpetuity. Chabot’s bad contract should allow y’all to keep winning just enough games to avoid the high lottery picks you really need.
This feels like an all Canada trade between the lower level clubs north of the border. Good deck shuffling of poorly arranged chairs on a sinking ship
