Description
Not a huge huge change, STL seems to be trending towards a re-build.
Oilers always linked to local product, could be a good partner for Nurse to help solidify that first pair.

Trading away Kulak frees up a slot for Broberg full time.
Yamo, although a popular teammate, isn't what we're looking for if we want to play a skilled AND bruising game from game 1 to game 83+

Blues aren't retaining on Parayko, And that's a pretty pathetic offer for a top pairing RD.

Just because he slots into the top pair doesnt necessarily mean he is top pair material. Case in point: Cody Ceci.

Ceci is by no means a top pairing guy. He's playing there because:
A. Bouchard is better served playing with Ekholm
B. Ceci provides 'Decent' minutes compared to the alternative (rookie Desharnais).
C. A better fit defensively than the recently-departed Barrie

Parayko, while being undoubtedly better than Ceci, has struggled as of late and is viewed more as a Top 4 guy, than a bonafide Top Pairing guy. He would play on the Oilers top pair though, for the same reasons above.

He also has a bad back and a long contract - you sure you want to go down that road? Back issues don't just go away.
