Hate to break the news to you, But that doesn't even come close to getting both Parayko and Tarasenko. And Pittsburghs prospect pipeline is a joke. Not even close dude.

Yea ig he did (wasn’t as bad as some people made it out to be at all tho) still doesn’t get you close to there value
Make it Marino and crosby instead

Pens are going to need to give up more to get that return. Even when you consider that Parayko played bad and Tarasenko reportedly "still wants out" which makes him more moveable, you'd still need to add more. Essentially you're giving up a worse version or Parayko, two bottom 6 forwards, and a late first. That's simple not enough. Look at it like this.

Think of this trade as two mini trades. Marino Kap and McGinn for Parayko. Why would STL wanna get a downgrade on parayko, in order to add two bottom 6 forwards? They wouldn't.

Then the other mini-offer in this trade is Tarasenko for a late 1st. Which again, isnt enough value.

Overall you'd need to add in POJ and Poulin to make this trade close in value, but at that point the Pens would be giving up a TON of capital for two players, which even though both guys are great, is it really worth giving up all that for two guys? Especially considering its not just 5 players and a pick that are all prospects. 4/5 of those guys are NHL ready right now with the latter being very close...

I know you're annoyed, but you know Crosby is more valuable than any player on the Blues right? I'd go as far as to say any 3 combined, Sid is more valuable.

He was brutal with the puck. Not necessarily his positioning, but awful with puck movement

Kings decline. There are better options for them than Pettersson

Yea Ik was joking mostly
If we do trade CP and VT
It would be Marino of course, Petterson, poulin and a first maybe 2 firsts, idk what army values CP and VT rn
