Quoting: KingExLeafs
Get younger, add a few prospects with Minten and the 1st, try to develop Liljegren into a top 4 D man, keep Bertuzzi for playoff run or flip him for a pick at the deadline. It's a good haul.
The Blues are not getting relatively close to the playoffs if they move Parayko and Buchnevich flaw number 1.
Liljegren doesn't really profile as any more than a #4, we'd be effectively asking him to play 25 minutes a night on the top pair against the Mackinnon's, Matthew's, McDavid's of the league. Flaw #2.
Minten and a late 1st is great, but Minten would probably slide in at #6 on our prospect pool and 4 ahead are forwards.
This package is a package I would consider for Buchnevich alone at this trade deadline. If not no biggie, sell him for something similar at the next deadline.
Why would we rip apart our whole defense for nothing? Getting younger doesn't always equate to getting better. Especially when there's a close to 0 percent chance any of the youth will be as good as not one but two players we are sending the other way whom both have at least 4-5 good seasons left in them.
