Selling at TDL to get the right mix

You do realize that buffalo’s 2024 first round pick is likely going to be top 10, right? That alone is worth more than Parayko.

He's a toronto,Philly fan not Buffalo

You dont think Parayko is worth a high 1st?

Oloffsson is a cap dump, Kisakov is a meh prospect, so its expiring RFA Jokiharju and the 1st for Parayko. I think its a pretty fair offer.

BUF is sitting pretty with good youngsters/prospects without that 1st

Yeah that Parayko trade is out of whack, his contract is nasty the next few years. Owed more in actual Salary than Cap hit. And your adding a lot of money.

Partly true, his actual salary drops in the last 3-4 yrs of the contract to below the cap hit though.

Really theres not tons of 1RD options available though. Especially ones who play pretty good defense and can move puck. I'd love a cernak, but he'll cost far more, whereas Parayko is available because STL needs to move some cap hits. Theres Pesce and Skjei both RD available in UFA, but both will be around that 6.5mil range. But ultimately BUF has dahlin, Power for a long time, but resally need to address the defense being poor by getting some top 4 quality.
