Leafs definitely have to add because Parayko has two years left on his contract and Rielly has only one. I'm not really sure what those pieces would be. I also think that some Leafs fans overrate Rielly and some Blues fans overrate Parayko.
I think swapping Rielly for Parayko would be a possibility as I see it helping the weaknesses of both teams. Rielly is offensive-minded and left-handed. The Blues could use an offensive defenseman and a left-handed shot. Parayko is defensive-minded and is right-handed. The Leafs could use a defensive defenseman and a right-handed shot. Even with all that said, I don't think either team is looking to change things up, especially the Blues. Both players are good leaders for their teams and are fan favorites. I also think that the plan for the Blues is to let Pietrangelo walk at this point. They should be keeping Parayko and the only reason why they should be trading him is to open up cap space. They probably still can have Rielly and Pietrangelo, but that too unlikely.
