<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blender90</b></div><div>It's not that I think the GM's are trying to decrease the value of him, It's just that this is the most unique situation I have seen I think where the Blues have 2 elite RD so the teams that need one AND have the space to fit one of them know that trading for Parayko directly affects the chances of Petro hitting the market so it might be a "too much for him I'll wait for Petro to go to FA". With a flat cap this year lots of teams are gonna be trying to move money around so if you have to go make a separate cap dump elsewhere to get the full value package for Parayko it's still technically deminishing the return just not all in the same deal.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.</div></div>

You're right, opening up cap space will cost value one way or the other, but the teams willing to take bad cap and the teams willing to make hockey trades are different entities. Def gonna be interesting. Maybe Petro will take one for the team and sign for $900k :grimace .

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blender90</b></div><div>If there was a Parayko trade it would have to be salary cutting, the Nylander trade would just make it harder to sign Petro. And there is no way in hell the blues are trading Parayko and letting Petro walk. The blues are in a tough spot after the Faulk trade, since anyone in the market for Parayko knows the move helps the Blues get Petro signed so either the Blues take a package of futures for Parayko or that team waits and takes a run at Petro in FA.</div></div>

Parayko and Blais for Nylander (and add a league min contract to the Blues roster) is basically neutral on cap. Blues could move Allen and Bozak any time before Tarasenko comes off of LTIR to stay below with Petro in the fold. The Faulk trade clearly ruined what would've been a pretty chill couple of offseasons lol but here we are.

Thread: If Eichel Requested Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BDeRousse89</b></div><div>Thomas is 20 years old to Eichel’s 23. Eichel was not Eichel today at 20 if I’m not mistaken. Thomas in 3 years will be in the same league as Eichel, imo. If not, pretty darn close. Thomas’ 2 more years of ELC sure is nice too as opposed to a 10M AAV when that would obviously mean Pietrangelo is no longer a Blue. Obviously Eichel is an MVP type player and the original trade is pretty fair but considering Thomas’ potential is what makes it difficult is all I’m saying on top of the likelihood of losing Captain Pietrangelo. Even with all that, even I admit it would nice consolation. :)</div></div>

Lets look back 3 years for Eichel then. (and I am not saying anything negative about Thomas, just addressing this... comparison) Thomas' second year obviously not over yet, hence the per/82 to level it off.

Thomas @ 20, 2 years in the league: 119gp 18-46-64; 12.4g/82gms, 44.1pts/82gms
Eichel @20, 2 years in the league: 142gp 48-65-113; 27.7g/82, 65.3pts/82gms

12g 44pts vs 28g 65pts... Seems basically equal.
