Chicago 20

Doesn't Montreal need lefties? We've played Parayko on the left a few times and he's been very ok over there but he's elite on the right. But if there's one defenseman we need to dump it's Faulk, not Parayko. He's eating up more cap, for longer, and is not better than Parayko or Pietrangelo at anything.

Trade Allen and Steen instead and we can keep Parayko

I didn’t get why the gm acquire faulk and give him such a long term deal. But clearly he have plan for him and he see faulk in Blues uniforms for long time. If pietrangelo extend with st louis it will become extremely though to keep all these right handed defenseman happy. And the season after binnington, thomas, kyrou, schwart,and gunnarsson will be looking for new contract with some of will get major raise.

With the players that could be heading out the door this doesn’t make sense. Allen, Steen, Bozak, Gunnarsson, Bortuzzo. So many options to be traded besides Parayko. Parayko is by far one of our best Defenseman on a cheap contract I would say he is worth more than that deal just himself.

That will cost us a bunch of pick and prospect to get rid of them.
