You're going to get blues fans here telling you that any Parayko trade starts with Cozens...

The Blues don't even consider that, sorry. I also have no idea why you'd offer UPL, who they have zero use for.

It's cute how you pretend that has ever happened here. Saying no to an overtly bad offer is not the same thing as asking for the moon. It's common sense.

Mittelstadt will finish with over 50 points this year. If he’s traded, especially considering his contract status, it better be for more than a 3rd round pick.

This is an over value on Parayko. Sabres wont/shouldnt consider because of that contract. One the worst contracts in the league and near unmovable

Contract is unmovable. It's a futile effort to even try. Nobody will be happy with a return and he will sit on STL's roster for the next however many years. Hopefully he can be like skinner has been. Still an anchor contract, but at least it brings some value.

Good point, and Parayko is considerably better than Risto, even in a down season for him. The guy plays the hardest D-man minutes in the league, has maybe the worst top pairing partner (pre-TDL anyway) and is top 10 in volume of total defensive stops. Is he making too many mistakes this season? Yeah. He's been better than this. Is he bad or an anchor contract? Nah. That's analytics talk from people who don't watch him play, spurn context and cherry pick numbers. Nobody said a word when he was playing near-Norris level hockey the back half of last season (while paired mostly with Scandella and Mikkola, mind you) and in the playoffs, but suddenly he's terrible when the whole team has melted down around him all year AND there's no way he could ever bounce back despite plus skating, unique physical traits and a style that isn't too aggressively physical. In a couple years, his contract will seem a bargain, at least for a while. If they finally find him a proper partner, he'll probably star again and be a bargain. If they trade him, he'll probably star again and be a bargain. It's also odd to say no one wants him when we just had a TDL littered with Parayko "rumors" and CF continually gets AGMs trading for him from at least half the teams' fans here.

Risto was on an expiring contract and the flyers obviously made things worse for themselves by doubling down and extending him

Muh huh. I mean, it's not like teams have continually called to ask about him for years on end right up to the present moment, just hoping that this time the Blues will part with him....

Nope. That's not how it works, guy. I proved my point, and you pretended I proved your point. Which clearly is not the case. And no, that's not why a deal has not happened. Sorry again. Nope.

Setting aside that you have just moved the goalposts clear to a whoooooole other field way over there, this is also simply and obviously untrue. But you have fun making up things and pretending they're unassailable, established facts. Good luck with all that.
