quote=leafsfan96;529645]Dude, I am howling! You say to someone "Do you even watch hockey" and at the end of that statement you say Parayko is a top 5 dman in the league?? I'll name off dman better than Parayko right now and these are in no particular order.
Doughty, Hedman, Karlsson, Pietrangelo, Josi, Burns, Klingberg, Jones, Ghostibere, Provorov, Ekman Larsson, Ekblad, Ellis, Hamilton, Suter, Dumba.
Take your takes somewhere else man before you spit nonsense like that.[/quote]
spit your nonsense else where kid. half of those defencemen are not even close to having the value of Parayko or ability to play two way hockey like him let alone hit, blockshots. i will give you Doughty, Hedman, Karlsson, Pietrangelo, and its very close with hedman and pietrangelo. You take contract, age, injury history, and defensive ability then even karlson could be in question. Burns is all offense and when he is not scoring he is an overpaid beard. Ekblad and Suter are both great players both have injury histories get paid more while one is young and will get better the other is older and will only get worse. Josi is very close not as physical as him. Klingberg is better on offense but lacks the defensive ability and its not even close. Jones, Ghostibere, Provorov,are great up and coming d-men not close to him yet. Ekman Larsson is hard to judge he is always on garbage teams that affect his game. He doesn't play defense or hit as well as Parayko. Ellis just not as good and Hamilton is good on offense solid d but he keeps getting traded for lesser pieces something wrong there. While Dumba is good he is the 3rd best on his team (sutter and Spurgeon).
Maybe top 5 is a small stretch but doesn't change the fact that he has a ton more value than offered. There is another site where the proposed trade was Parayko for Leon Draisaitl. Oilers fans all said no but blues fans also said no and most neutral fans said value was very close.
