Thread: Another crack at Parayko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>southpark_writer</b></div><div>If you look at Parayko’s DFF% and GF% on PuckIQ vs elite players, he has been in decline since 2018-2019.

He is no longer an elite defenceman, and with his cap hit now and continuous regression, any trade for him is only a good deal if Blues retain some salary. This trade is horrible, and long term would be a disaster like the Lucic deal.

Blues fans will disagree, but the math doesnt lie.</div></div>

Math doesn’t lie but it also doesn’t tell the full story. Parayko plays a shut down game and hasn’t been paired with a defenseman who can play defense years. This hurts his stats to some degree and definitely has forced him to try and do more than one player can. That being said, this trade is definitely an overpay and the blues would be dumb to say no.

Thread: imagine if Draisaitl wanted to leave EDM and wanted here to join Stutzle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Then provide a link where Drai and McDavid vacation together... Are you talking about the GF whom McDavid cheated on last year (https://www.hookedonhockeymagazine.com/connor-mcdavid-caught-cheating-on-his-girlfriend-lauren-kyle/)? When Sportnet (I think) shows players walking in pregame, I don't see McDavid or Draisaitl ever talk to each other or even acknowledge the others existence and that leads me to wonder if they even like each other</div></div>
Check McDavid's Instagram, they were just in Turks &amp; Caicos together. I'm not going to link out of respect for his privacy, but your notion that they don't like each other is plain false. McDavid, Draisaitl and Nurse are tight.

Thread: Next year no Campbell 2
I understand the frustration with Campbell, wholeheartedly, I get it. But I think trading him away will be premature given the historical inconsistency of veteran goaltending. In the last 4 years, Jake Markstrom has had 2 seasons below .905 and 2 seasons in the Vezina top 5. Matt Murray was awful for the Senators and Ilya Samsonov was NQO'd by the caps, theyre both .930 goalies this year in Toronto. Pump the breaks on Campbell, hes got a history of success and long contracts rarely show positive dividends in year one. Especially considering the guy you're trading Campbell for in this mock trade is having a terrible season of his own and with the retention factored in, the cap savings are essentially null, plus trading away Puljujarvi when he still definitely has legitimate value given his analytical profile, previous seasons, and impact outside of his end product.

Thread: Trade for Connor Brown
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>Since when did Brown suddenly become this unbelievable player. He's a poor man's Lehkonen without the finishing. I've never seen a guy miss so many chances, all alone. In that instance, he's much like Puljujarvi.

Not getting Pool Party and a 1st. Especially when Brown becomes UFA and Lehkonen had cost control.

You're looking at a 2nd and Jesse at best!</div></div>

How in the world can he be a poor man’s Lehkonen “without finishing” when he puts up more goals and points while playing on a worse team LOL

50 point pace every single season in Ottawa. One of the leagues leading pkers at forward. Defensively responsible, plays up and down the lineup, can play pp as well. Only a year older than Lehkonen and can be traded at only 1.8m against the cap. He’ll get a 1st.
