Rumor: Parayko to the Leafs

[Leafsfan74]

Parayko is 27 and only under 2 years of control.

Moving Willy for him is hugely risky.

If we are moving Nylander, it should be to make a play for Alex P. I think you have to find another path forward unless he somehow finds a taker for Nylander and his cap hit (without taking much back). Good luck, few teams are going to take on cap in the Covid-19 era.

 

[DougGilmour93]

If these were the only options, would St.Louis rather sign Pietrangelo and deal Parayko OR let Pietrangelo go and keep Parayko and use the cap space elsewhere?

And if Parayko was on the trade block (which I don’t believe) would they prefer a deal involving Nylander or a deal revolving around youth and futures (Johnsson + SDA + Liljegren +15th overall) ?

How would a "cap clearing" trade between Parayko and Nylander work if Nylander makes more money than Parayko?

This isn't a rumour. It's bullshit. Where the source? This should've been locked a minute after it was posted.

The only thing that is clear is that you don't understand the definition of the word rumor...
Definition of rumor

3archaic : talk or report of a notable person or event
4: a soft low indistinct sound : MURMUR

This will be Nylander involved.

What do we need Nylander for? We would absolutely need D help, having lost our entire shutdown D pairing over the course of a year. And if we moved Parayko, which is incredibly unlikely but I know you guys just can't help yourselves, it would have to create cap space to retain Petro otherwise our D is scorched earth. So we add salary and don't address D, in order to get a winger which would be a luxury. That would be a nightmare.

Why exactly would we get rid of 30 goal scorers entering their prime in order to make room for a guy leaving his prime?

Well, from what I hear, Tarasenko is going to be out long term and St.Louis is in need of replacing his offence. So, I assume the cap clearing will be happening via other trades. Parayko for Nylander is close cap wise. Only off by approximately 1.4 mil.

O'Reilly and Parayko are the only guys making any real money that do not have NT/NMC's. They only have about $2M to spend to begin with.

It's going to be extremely tough for them to move salary. Honestly I would just let them struggle and lose Pietro unless they give us a huge bargain on Parayko.

What I was trying to get at, which completely escaped you, was that it would require a quality piece in return to start the conversation.Nothing else.

It completely escaped me because that is not at all what you said. What you said here I agree with, but Nylander I don't at all.

 

[Faltorvo]

They would move Steen, Faulk and Allen to make space. They have options. Let's get a little more creative here boys.

IF/once they have made the space,,,then i will change my tone

till then,,,welllll

 

[ACC1224]

If Tarasenko is out long term, won’t that help the Blues cap?

In the short term, but I think they would be in a pickle when he’s ready to come back because they would be a Tarasenko above the cap.

Thanks. Thought I saw somewhere he could be out for the season.

 

[Tak7]

Temporarily, yeah.

But any relief they get by having him on LTIR until hypothetically, January, they lose when he's healthy and ready to return.

They could conceivably spend right through his $7.5M cap hit (similar to what the Leafs were doing with Horton, Clarkson, Lupul, Robidas, etc)., but once he returned they'd basically have to move player(s) out to free up that cap hit. We know how hard money is to move in this league.

 

[tmlms13]

That's a Joe from Bridge type trade.

 

[Raym11]

Not even EA sports would make that deal

It would be Armstrongs last day as a GM

That's kinda like If/Once we have made the cap space lol

If only. A standard remains and a supplement seems to have been championed over the standard. Looking for consistency here, and not disagreeing that HFBoards may use a different definition, but the member's discrepancy isn't invalid.

Does HFBoards have language defining their use of the word rumor? I don't know and would be interested to read it.

likely mods kept it up because there is nothing else to talk about, but doesn’t mean those who visit the boards less frequently need to be tricked into clicking yet another garbage trade proposal disguising as a “rumor”

 

[JT AM da real deal]

STL owner wants to win ... he does not care about da $$$ he writes big cheques to win ... they will front load Petrol to make it work ... they will unload Bozie or Schartz to make CAP work ... only thing left is final negotiations

 

[Duckrider]

No way we get parayko without moving Nylander. They could use an offensive player like Willy and it would be a good trade for both teams with both guys under contract. Good 1 for 1 swap and allows them and then they can commit to Petriangelo.

We would need more, Nylander is a first line winger, Parayko is not that first pairing defence.

 

[I am Canadian]

Sandin + 1st?

Rielly - Parayko
Muzzin - Holl
Lehtonen - Dermott

That's probably what it would take. I would take a hard think about it

Yeah you’re probably right. To do so he may have to take 50 cents on the dollar though. I hope Dubas can show him he doesn’t need to and offer a good trade. As far fetched as it is Im sucked into this thread daily and would really like to see him on the leafs

I'm reading through this thread and I see people talking hockey all getting along and then you? You sound as if you are going to take you ball home now?
