This would be bad asset management by the blues. We are not getting rid of two of our top players for a bunch of future bottom 6 and 4-6pairing D. Let’s break it down, Brodie is a cap dump to make it work and not what we would need. Then it’s what Liljegren and a 26 1st (likely very late) for Parayko? And then Robertson and your late first this year for buch? Those would be complete steals for Toronto and set back the blues and then their retool/rebuild into a bad rebuild that’s not on track. Not happening. Need to add topi and knies at least. And I know you’re not going to want to do that.

"and Knies" 😂... You also get a 2nd+4rth for Brodie too...

In total, you turn Buch and Parayko into:
2 1sts+Lilly+2nd+4rth+Robo

1st+2nd+Robo for Buch
Lilly (who can easily be flipped into a 1st but the leafs don't want to trade him)+4rth for Parayko

1st for sweetener...

That defense would be so hard to watch. Nobody would clear the net. Nobody would check.

What’s the benefit for the Blues? We’re getting much much worse and only adding a couple late 1sts and mid to late picks and young players who cannot fit into roles we’d need them to fit into at any point.

St Louis isn't good enough. Trade Parayko now at his highest value. I don't see them competing for a few years anyways. By then Parayko will have taken a step back.

Your gm has put you in a tight corner of mediocrity. You have to see that. Get good young assets and firsts. Once all their old dman expire, they will be back to competing with a good young core.

Still no

Stick to making ACGMs for the Leafs, preferably ones that don't include Parayko
And that offer MAYBE gets you Buch. Lilly is not a high end asset and neither is Robertson. Only the firsts are decent

Why are you pretending to care or know about what would be good for the Blues? You guys just never listen. Ever.
