Imagine paying OEL 7.2 for 5 more years and parayko 6.5 for 8 lmaooooo how to ruin a franchise 101

Not even remotely close. And the LDs are the ones that need new homes, not Parayko and Faulk (despite what many Blues fans howl).

Good to know! Thanks!
Figured Parayko wasn’t going anywhere.

If you wouldnt do this to get him off the books youre crazy. He is terrible lmao. Arguably worse than Seth Jones

No he’s not lmao.

That’s a horrid take.

He’s literally the only one in our top 4 who can handle top 4 shutdown minutes. Which he gets at a very heavy rate.

He’s not a #1 d man like we’d all hoped. But he’s certainly a top pair guy. Especially if he got better than 35% OZ starts. He still manages to get around 30 points a season doing so which is wild especially given no PP time.

He’s being asked to take on by far the hardest usage on the team, and probably one of the hardest matchups in the league while playing half the season with Mikkola and the other half with Leddy. Tell me who is going to have great statistical seasons in that usage.

-3.9 GAR, 3rd worst offWAR in the NHL among defenseman and a placement level to below replacement level on nearly every since advanced defensive metric available. He sucks. And in terms of value, his horrific 8 year deal makes him so much less valuable

Do either of those models factor in usage whatsoever?

yes both account for TOI

Do they account for QoC? TOI isn’t a great measure for a guy who has a heavily swayed usage of d zone starts. It generally makes them look worse.
