Thread: Parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BluesGetTheCup</b></div><div>There have been like 50 proposals from both sides in the past 2 weeks alone. So that's why most people don't feel the need to throw out possibilities.



Perron is def worth $4 mill. Bozak is only 3 years, it's an overpay but fine. We barely paid Maroon anything. We have a ton of quality prospects coming up who have top 6 potential, hence why we don't need players like Kapanen or Bracco. Gardiner is a LD which we have tons of.

You're right in that it would take an overpay for Parayko. The Blues view him as a #1 d type and he's right on the cusp. He's a top pairing guy on a lot of teams. No one said Norris worthy, but it's not like Nylander is a hart or ross worthy either.</div></div>

They are both young guys with prominent roles on their teams with a lot of upside. Nylanders upside is probably higher than Parayko's but RWs are easier to come by then RHD at their age and potential. Which is why a 1 for 1 is a good hockey trade, but I do not see the Blues making this move as they have Kyrou, Thomas and Kostin all coming up and the need for a player like Nylander is less than the need for Parayko.
