Toronto gets Parayko for cheap or it takes Pietro in free agency for nothing.
totally foolish
Blues have several other options to come up w/another 5ishm to add to what they are already paying AP.
As I have posted in other threads, the only way I move Parayko is if a prospect like Bouchard, Byram, Seiden, or Broberg is coming back. Toronto doesn't have a prospect like that, so no deal. If it came right down to it, I would rather keep Parayko and let Pietrangelo walk if it became a choice of those two options.
underline:
1 - it is the total return and also how well it fits. Obv a prospect of that level ilk helps a lot, but you are asking, in a flat cap covid depressed environment, for teams to give up elc/exp dr exempt guys of which there are no surplus. Now, don't get me wrong. For Parayko, it is a justified ask. But it is difficult to oblige.
bold
2 Agree for the same reason, youth and cheaper contract usually accompanying is what commands, but not nec your only option.
So you're suggesting Faulk is enough negative value that Parayko's wouldn't even cover it?
7 yrs at 6+ vs stud at 5.5 x 2, risk he could walk.
does not cover AINEC
I agree, Simon you know I am a stout parayko guy. Would never want to trade him. For some reason we did to sign petro. I would want the following. I know it doesn't seem like enough but I think it has value. What do you think.
Bouchard, lavoie, 14th ova
For
Parayko small add.
Bouchard is nhl ready and can replace faulk in a year as 2rhd when we move him to Seattle (hopefully)
Lavoie looks really good needs some seasoning with his defensive skills but nhl ready.
My question is who would be your top three possibles at 14ova and 26ova.
Just curious.
Bouchard + Broberg + 14OA + 2021 EDM 1st
for
Parayko + StL 2021 1st
that would get it done. Bro takes sting out of moving Scandella if nec. And Rangers should be able to offer you a fair deal for Broberg.
if you ask for parayko, who is immovable, you definitely have to move your practically immovable futures or someone else does the deal.
Depends on totality of circumstances and what pieces make best total offer, which may or may not be the immovable.
Rangers do not want Faulk, but if 3 way were worked out beforehand could see:
Faulk 6.5 x 7 reduced to 4.5
Rangers then retain again to 2.25, flip to Leafs
Leafs have at set 2.25 x 7
But while taking on Faulk at 2.5 but sub term is cheap buy for RD desperate leafs, maybe even Rangers pay small b'c despite term now $ is only 2.25.
However, for NY to do all that and drop all those mils, esp in current environment, signif return would be required including Parayko.
