Blues fans "We want Draisaitl"
Oilers fans "You will take RNH and like it"
Blues fans "We don't want RNH"
Oilers fans "Well, you're not getting Draisaitl"
And around and around we go on the useless proposal carousel.
I actually think the teams line up very well as trade partners but I don't see the Blues parting with Parayko barring an obscene overpayment (what's the point in dealing him now?) and I don't see teams giving them what they need. I guess a Johansen/Jones type deal is possible but that's the exception, not the norm.
