Speculation: (TOR/STL) Nylander+ for Parayko - could get it done...

[bleedblue1223]

As a Blues fan the only question you need to also is: Do we have the defensive depth to do this deal. Also we would like a goalie as part of the package for Nylander

As a Blues fan, the answer is simple, just no, Parayko isn't being moved. Find someone else to obsess about.

NHL Trade Rumors: Colton Parayko for William Nylander

Don't kill me. I don't know this source or how legit it is , but it's a great long weekend discussion.

Best Quote:

"The Leafs would have to offer a good player to entice the Blues to trade Parayko. Leafs winger, William Nylander, is a possibility. Nylander scored 20 goals, and 61 points last season. He is a restricted free agent currently without a contract. A deal would be dependent upon Nylander signing a long-term contract with the Blues."

The article says Nylander and the Leafs add a piece for Parayko but your thread says Nylander for Parayko +

So who's right the website, yourself, or me?

Will you change the title for me?

Guys, I have a confession to make.
I'm the hockey insider at NHL Trade Rumours and I've had a few too many tequilas today since it's the first day of my vacation.
Apologies, you can disregard this rumour.

Sparks? McElhinney? Pickard?

You should start a thread for every silly rumor you find on some obscure website that nobody visits.

ummm....the OP said he's a Blues fan?

This is one of those rumours that has been made up for site hits. Blues have no reason to move Parayko, weakens their defensive strength. Leafs have no reason to move Nylander, weakens their top 6 strength. Nylander wants to stay a Leaf and Dubas has stated he sees it that way as well. Unless news to the contrary comes up, there is zero reason to believe leafs would look to move Nylander, and though I don't follow much news on the Blues, just doesn't make any sense for them to move a guy like him with nobody who could really replace him. Terrible speculation here.

Makes a lot of sense for Leafs, makes ZERO sense for STL.

No chance Blues do this... STL doesn't need Nylander like Leafs need Parayko. Also Blues wouldn't be adding anything at all

This isn't a rumour - it speculation by a fan site. I've edited the tag and title, and we'll monitor how the "banter" goes before deciding to close it or not. Behave yourselves, please.

Heh, the *source* has 4 followers.

His location is Toronto and I've never seen him involved in Blues threads, so, who knows.

 

[Stuzchuk]

STL: you want Parayko for Nylander, you will have to add Carrick and Andersen to that... but we'll be generous, we will add Allen to Parayko to help you guys out

as for OP, the Blues dont have the depth to move Parayko... if it would be a LHD the TOR would need it would be a little different

he's a Leafs fan... I remember his previous proposals

I mean, that's HFboards in a nutshell, isn't it?

fair enough...i was just going by this...

[Dbrownss]

Yay.....

 

[Gary Nylund]

Is this where we talk about the Coke vs Pepsi challenge?

 

[FerrisRox]

So who's right the website, yourself, or me?

Well the website is a total joke, so you can rule that out, and I didn't state an opinion on the matter so I'm not sure how I could be "right" and your comment is a total fabrication based of off mis-reading an uncredible website so... none of the above?

 

[BleedBlue14]

Until Parayko proves he can actually be a top pairing D-man, he's not going to fetch an elite center.

Good. We won’t trade him then.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

This type of thread always seems to come up involving these 2 players and every time it still stays being a horrible idea.

Parayko is staying put and wont be going anywhere

I feel bad for STL fans on here having to constantly deal with this proposal

The only goalie that is an upgrade or even worth entertaining the thought of trading from our weakest position of depth to a position in which we just added 3 players and have two more on the cusp this year along with multiple the year after is Anderson. Sparks/Mcelhinney/ whoever else is in your system does nothing for us. I would and I’m sure many would prefer Husso over all of them as early as halfway through this next year.

Sparks? McElhinney? Pickard?

No, gross, and certainly not. You’re gonna have to waive someone. Why would we give up assets when we can just wait for Woll to come home without giving up any assets

Regardless read the first part of this reply. I really like Nylander, he’s just simply not a need anymore. We don’t really have any holes in the skater department at the moment. The only position that is debatable is right defense depth. Left d could entertain an upgrade but I think most of us are pretty faithful that Vince Dunn will take another step forward or at least continue to be a solid #4 option esp next to Parayko. Before Jake Gardiner is brought into the discussion, that is an upgrade but I fail to see it as an upgrade that is worth entertaining the cap hit or assets that y’all would want.

Really like Parayko, but I don't think he quite lives up to the enormous reputation. That's not who you should target for a trade, unless you really are running out of options.
