<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mauston_atthews</b></div><div>All I’ve heard is that he’s having a down year, he needs to be traded and that he’s overrated.

You should try actually watching him play. Has he had a down year relative to past years? Yeah, but it is WAY overblown. He plays the hardest minutes in the entire league, has possibly the worst top pairing partner in the league, on a team that has bizarrely turned the puck over in horrible places all year long and if you look at the total volume of all the things he does stop individually (which analytics don't even pretend to incorporate), he's top 10 in the league. Most of the stuff he gets blamed for is someone else's fault. Hell, this season I've seen literally hundreds of people bashing him on FB for a goal when he wasn't even on the ice. Like 10 days ago, I saw loads of people trashing him after a win where he went +4.

Are there valid criticisms of Colt this season? Definitely. But anyone you see lowering this guy's work or value hard-core either only looks at stats/dipwad pundits like a certain Athletic writer or is a Blues fan that will forever hate Parayko regardless of what he factually does because he's not mean like Pronger. It's that simple. The guy is damn good even when he's below his average level, and half the league would fall over themselves trying to get at him if he truly was on the market. They'd offer crazy shiz because they all know he'd go star with a proper partner. The guy already starred the back half of last season playing mostly with Scandella. He's good, and his contract is not an albatross no matter how many times someone repeats it, and he'd fetch a good bit more than Jokiharju and a few throw-ins.

Thread: What is the value of o Reilly
O'Reilly would probably cost a 1st (not necessarily the 2023 one)+ a 3rd + a B-prospects, maybe if the Leafs send Holmberg+two 2nds instead of a first on top the Blues would accept. O'Reilly is willing to resign with the Blues at a discount, short-term, so he probably doesn't get traded unless he gets a good haul.

Below is my lengthy response to "What's the value of Rielly?" 😂


Can probably get a good haul out of him, like the <em>Chychrun ask more or less. There might not be so many suitors considering his cap hit, which isn't high, but many teams wouldn't be able to make it work. There's also his NMC clause. So, would probably be getting offers no worth moving him for presently.

I think the only team I think that might be in on him is Seattle-they were interested in Klingberg but maybe they don't have a spot for Rielly on the left- and LA who is after a LD but they probably would need to move some major pieces to make the cap work. He might be too offensive for them too but he could probably pair well with Roy. There's also bound to be a team or two who has cap that would be interested in adding him like Ana, Det, and Buf but it would be of they can get him "for the right price". Vancouver could be an option too if they buyout OEL, and the Leafs are taking back Myers (with some retention)+Garland back.</em>
