Neither team wants to do it. Could either end up like the Carter-to-Columbus trade (Philly gets Couturier w/ 8oa and Voracek and wins big) or the Jordan Staal-to-Carolina trade (PIT gets Dumoulin, Sutter, and flops on the 8oa with Pouliot). But Carter had 11(!) yrs of a contract and Staal was a 24 yr old RFA vs 2 yrs of Parayko's contract... BUF has no reason to commit those pieces to 2 yrs of Parayko (it's BUF, he wouldn't stay) and STL has no reason to take on that much risk with a ready-built team. Value-wise, it's impossible to know without (a) seeing who is otb at 8 and (b) seeing what the player taken at 8 does between now and the end of his 2nd contract.
