Not a chance from STL. Definitely not adding a 1st. if anything, the 2nd on TOR's side should be a 1st.
I feel like people undervalue just how good Parayko really is. He's 24, a Right shot defenceman (arguably the most sought after position in hockey), He plays huge minutes and is effective at nearly all times when he's on the ice. He's also an absolute Giant, but he doesn't skate like it. And he's only going to get better. Not to take anything away from Nylander; He's a very talented young player with a very bright future, but Parayko is one of the most valuable Dmen in the entire league. After Karlsson, Hedman Pietrangelo, and Doughty, he's right in the conversation with guys like Jones, Werenski and OEL.
