There are 29 other teams that would make a better offer than that. Is Seattle allowed to make trades yet?

That means they would need to clear 9 million by my count, not eleven.
Allen and Bozak make 9.5ish. Both play depth positions. Both make a lot of money. Both are useful players capable of playing bigger roles on other teams. There's our cap space.

Even if they decide that they need to move Parayko, lots of teams will be interested so they'll be getting fair value. If hes available, you'd better believe the Leafs will be calling and offering a mix of Robertson, Sandin and Liljegren among others
which 29 teams are those? He only has two years left on his contract, if it was one and you could do a sign and trade I could see it.
The Leafs have 4.5 million in cap space with a roster of 17 they'll be interested but need to send salary back
The Yotes have 6.8 million in cap space with a roster to 17 so same thing need to get rid of salary themselves or send it back and they need scoring more then defense
Dallas can make it work but would only want Parayko
The Nucks have 18 million in cap space with a roster of 15 but if they resign Markstrom, Tefolli and Stretcher they'll be right up against the cap
The Flyers have a 12 million and a roster of 15 so they could probably fit it with a minor move but they have Niskanen, Sanheim and Phillip Myers on the right side. There looking to move a defenseman
The Hawks have 6.5 million in cap space with a roster of 22 but no Goaltenders next season
The Caps have just over 10m with a roster of 16 so providing they don't re up Holtby, Braun or Gudas they could squeez him in
The Knights are at 8m with a roster of 16 with schmidt and martinez on their right side they'd need to move salary out
Florida has the space if they don't re up their RFA's but won't take Allen in the deal and have Ekblad and Stralmon on the right side
Edmonton 10m with a roster of 16 but have Ethan Bear, and Athanasiou as rfas and would like to keep Tyler Ennis
The Sharks have Karlsson and Burns on their right side
The Bruins would be interested in just Parayko forgot they cleared out Backes they have 18m with a roster of 18 if they resign krug could still make it work
The Pens have 13m with a roster of 16 with both goaltenders and 6 rfas salary would need to go out
The Sabres have the cap space but have Ristolainin, Montour, Miller and Jokiharju on their right side
The Canes have 8m and a roster of 15 salary would have to move out and they have Hamilton and Pesce on their right side
The Flames could make it work
Tampa has it's own cap knightmares
The preds have 9m with a roster of 17 some salary would need to be moved out
The ducks have 6m with a roster of 16 and are in a rebuild
The wild could make it work but have Dumba and Spurgeon on the right side
The Islanders will all ready have to move out some salary to get Pulock and Barzel fit in
The Jets can easily absorb both Parayko and Allen and use them both
The Rangers will be tight against the cap and have Trouba, Deangelo and Fox on the right side
The Habs have the space but have Weber and Petry on the right side
The Blue Jackets all ready have to move out salary just to get their rfa's signed
The Avs could make it work but have Makar and Johnson on the right side with Makar and Landeskog needing new contracts after next year that 2nd year for Parayko could become problomatic
La is in a rebuild
Ottawa is in a rebuild
Devils could use him but need a left shot more and could use Allen for a season as well
So it's really down to Wpg and Jersey who could use both. Dallas, Nashville and The flames could Use parayko and for the other eight that could make it work it would be a luxury.
In no way am I saying my offer is a fair trade for Parayko, but if Pietrangelo go's down to the negotiating window as high profile UFA's do these days for leverage and they have to shell out 9m to keep him They'll be over the cap by 7 million with Dunn still to sign. I canny Gm could offer sheet Dunn at that point and the blues won't be able to match without being over the 10% over the cap allowed in the off season, even if the offer sheat is only for 2 million which would bring back a 3rd round pick or if they really wanted could offer more on a five year term and it's a 2nd going to the blues. When a teams in that situation Gm's don't bail them out just to be nice.
