Parayko is going nowhere. Lebrun said the Blues have no intrest. Also, the contract will be horrible in 3-4 years.

Just how would you break this offer down? Bearing in mind that Buchnevich is having a better year than John Tavares, at half the cap hit?

One of the firsts, Brodie and Liljegren for six seasons of Colton Parayko?

The other first and Nick Robertson for two playoff runs and one full regular season of Pavel Buchnevich?

And you blithely posit that Brodie can be immediately retained and flipped for a second and a third. If someone is that eager to have him at that price, why haven't they been on the phone with Brad already?

Buddy, in four years he'll probably take up 5-6% of the cap and still be logging 23 minutes against good competition. And his game is one that could age well. Maybe don't go into the magic 8-ball business just yet.
