2 years of a very good player for 2 very likely NHLers (projecting very well, NHL ready) and a mid-first .... that's quite a bit to give up for a team that is struggling with depth as it is... and 3 ELCs, which are invaluable in this flat cap state we are in. Not forgetting about Alexandrov, who could turn into an NHLer as well.
Normally I would say
no way to this kind of offer because the Oilers have a hard time re-signing UFA pending guys without having to overpay but I feel Parayko is a player who would be willing to re-sign in his home town for a fair deal.
This defence makes me very happy...
Klefbom - Parayko
Nurse - Bear
Jones- Larsson
Broberg
... but is it worth it? ... and if Parayko doesn't re-sign... oh boy... we are set back in a huge way... but I want Parayko!
Can I offer you Russell (10% retained) and Neal (10% retained) for Parayko ($0 retained)!
