<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TomAce</b></div><div>Not a lot of Blue’s hockey typically, but I have watched them of late and have enjoyed seeing Parayko return to form. His injury history is at play here. Smart decision for St. Louis could be to move off of him while he’s healthy.

This deal may not be close enough for Blues fans but it’s a good deal, you’ve probably never watched Lavoie or Broberg either. Broberg is going to be a stud. Book it.

If the Oil had to add another prospect, I’d still do it.</div></div>

If Thomas hasn’t taken another step this year I could conceivably see them heading for a full tear down. But he has and it would be a shame if more than 2 or 3 of the next 8 years were wasted.

We just cannot feasibly replace what Parayko brings for the next long while. He’s a horse, and he plays every matchup covering the flaws of the rest of our ****ty defense at actually defending.

In terms of the players from the Oilers side, Brobergs development has been so poorly handled by the Oilers it’s hard to imagine a situation where he does much more than salvage an NHL career. Admittedly aside from Lavoies physical specs, don’t know a lot. But I do know our forward prospect pool is in a very very good spot. It’d be an unnecessary surplus. The first is presumably anywhere from 22-32. Fine, but nothing to write home about, or justify us moving out Parayko.

If it were Faulk this would be a hard, but much different conversation.
