Blues add cap, lose their best defensive defenseman, take a huge risk on guys that don't have much time left on their development curve, and still don't have any room to sign Pietrangelo. Pretty easy pass IMO.

All true Statements...but in the Blues forward make-up it seems as though Perron and his cap hit might be a drag as early as next season. Besides, thats what getting younger usually meens...less experience. What if the Leafs added a pick or 2 to sweeten the deal?

no deal

That's cool. Don't tell me why or how far apart or what could be added or anything like that. Not necessary.

lol. It should be obvious that Parayko and Perron are two players the blues would not move based on how good their contracts are. Dermott has not proved to be a stable top 4 defenseman, Johnsson is coming off knee injury. Nylander is a nice piece but that is it. Things aren't looking good for Pietrangelo staying in STL, thus Parayko is the last player the y should be looking to move. I would say in terms of value, you would need to add 2 OF Robertson, Liljegren or Pick 15 in place of Johnsson and Dermott for the blues to even consider. My counter would be something like Parayko and Perron for Nylander Liljegren and pick15. Still not sure the blues do that though

That's fair but I'm curious about something. Since you state that Dermott is unproven, why would Liljegren be a better option? I actually thought Dermott was the better player for you guys since you're much more shallow on the left side than you are on the right and he has proven much more the Liljegren has. THe left side depth is bad enough that Parayko (a righty) but has often played LD this year as a result of lack of other options.

liljegren probably has more upside than dermott, plus he would be cheaper. Blues left side has Dunn,Scandella,Perunovich,Gunnarsson and Mikkola. Dermott isn't much of an upgrade on those guys whereas Liljegren culd be the prefect 3RHD When Bortuzzo leaves

What on Earth are you babbling about? There's no deal here. Just delusion. It's exhausting.
