Blues cannot afford to pay Nylander what he wants, and Blues cannot afford to move Parayko. Contrary to popular belief, Parayko is not a shell of himself. His role has substantially increased as his partners have substantially decreased. No other d man in the league is asked to play 20 minutes + a night 5v5 with 30% ozs.
I don’t think he’s worth the Leafs trading a guy like Nylander for. But the Blues cannot afford to extend Nylander, nor can they afford to lose Parayko. The rest of our d core aside from Bortuzzo is offensive minded and needs to be heavily sheltered which is why Parayko is asked to do what he’s being asked to do with a combination of Mikkola, Scandella and Leddy.
