Quoting: BayStreetBully91
You don't think the Blues wouldn't listen on a trade for Parayko when he's 30 and locked up for another 6 years?
If getting a 3-4 d-man in Brodie for rest of season, plus a solid bottom 6 player (Robertson) and 2 picks (including a 1st round pick) isn't enough - what would need to come back?
He’s not available but let’s say he was and fix your offer
First drop the retention, it’s not happening
Second, I get Brodie has to come back to make the cap work so add him and idk like a 2nd ig to pay for the dump but it doesn’t look like Toronto has a 2nd so just make it 2 3rds
Third, well the blues need a replacement RHD that can play over 25 minutes a night and play extremely hard pairings. The leafs don’t have that so for the sake of the argument. The blues would accept Liligren in that role
Now lastly you need to actually pay for Parakyo. I assume it starts at a guy like Knies. Then a couple good picks. So your first this year and next. Maybe 2 firsts is a little high but Toronto has no seconds so they are gonna have to make do.
So it’s
Parayko for Brodie, Knies, Lilligren, 2024 first, 2026 first, 2024 3rd, 2025 3rd
That’s a much fairer offer that would probably be competitive if he was available
