Parayko/Edmonton Trade Scenario

Saw this after the kids turned our house into a gift wrap and cardboard graveyard. This musing courtesy of Chris Johnston of the Athletic.

According to The Athletic, any trade for Parayko would likely involve a first-round pick, a mid-round pick, a prospect, and a roster player to help balance the salaries.

Do it up … send him back to his homeland!!

Plus we have Broberg to take over games

A late first round pick and a late mid round pick - that just doesn't sound enticing for a shut down defenseman with a 6.5M cap hit. It would have to be one heck of a prospect.

[crookedfeeder]

They (Oil) looked pretty darn good vs. Flames; but still think they'd love to have both Parayko and Binnington to be safe. So I guess the Jarry contract would come to us. As for prospects and picks; they don't have a 1st rounder for 2026. So 2nd in 2026, 1st in 2027, 1st in 2028. That being said; horrible trade partner, zero prospects worth a dam.

Why isn't a good goaler their top priority?

The only Oil first rounders that might be worth it are already on our roster.

This. Army would be fired immediately for trading away Parayko.

Yeah Idk what else could be done.

Maybe Parayko+Binner for Jarry, Frederic, Emberson, Isaac Howard, Paul Fischer, David Lewandowski, Tommy Lafreniere (or maybe one of their college prospects), 2nd and 3rd, 1st and 3rd

Gross. I'd rather have Skinner.

IMO, any goalie swap with Edm sailed when they brought in Jarry.

Said nobody ever.

Parayko has one of the best contracts in the entire league. He is 6.5 million for 4 more years. No team is going to be willing to give up what it would take to acquire him.

The flip side is the Blues get nothing for him and win nothing with him

[Frank Underwood]

To me, he has easily been one of the most disappointing Blues players so far this season. I’m pretty sure he will be on the Olympic team, but he definitely doesn’t deserve it.

Shut up gray boy... go back to your moms basement

[Pierre McGuire]

Blues should be looking at Philly as a trade partner. They have drafted extremely well the last few years and are loaded with quality prospects. Briere is going to do everything possible to get them over the hump this year. Parayko would be a great addition for them…maybe even Binner. As a trade partner for us it’s a match made in heaven..
