In what world is Brannstrom worth anywhere near what Parayko is worth? He's not available.

Parayko hasn’t been good in years

Hawks decline, they are loaded with left shot d-men prospects, there is no reason to trade a 2nd round pick for another.

You do not watch hockey

Anyway blues say no

Considering I grew up in a Blues household and live 15 mins outside of the city, I'd like to think I do lmao

He hasn't been the same since Pietrangelo left. Once he was given top minutes he's looked mediocre as ever. Were you even on Blues social media last season when the entire fanbase wanted nothing to do with him? I'd be happy with any package involving a first to ship off that contract.

The team will be good by the time he's nearing his mid-30's. I'd like to dump that contract.

God I really don’t wanna go over this again ngl.
Anyway He’s a number 2 dman. Not a number 1. He’s been given number one responsibility and has to babysit Leddy,Krug, and Faulk every night. Of course his stats took a hit but he’s still been good. You just gotta watch the games and look at the stats

Blues are not trading Parayko. Don't see Thomson or Boucher holding that much value for us

If Parayko isn't good when given number 1 responsibility than he isn't good to begin with.

I watch the games, as well as look at the stats. He plays bloated minutes because the back end is terrible, but Parayko isn't game changing. A standard DFD playing a role above where he should with a bad contract.

With how you and Mokumboi talk about him you'd think he's the second coming of Bobby Orr. Nothing about him dictates that he's untouchable. But The team will elect to hang onto him until they can be genuine competitors again and by that time they'll be itching to get out of his contract.

Literally the next Tyler Myers

Why do people do this? You clearly don't watch him play and thus have no clue what you're on about, but make these declarations as fact like an authority. I'm baffled.

It's your default to assume people don't watch the guy you vastly overvalue and overrate. I live 15 minutes outside of St. Louis and grew up in a Blues family.

I've quite literally had the pleasure of watching him flourish behind Pietrangelo while being one of the best DFD's in the league, only for him to sprout into a top pairing role where the guy gets shelled, only showing minor glimpses and flashes of being good. Newsflash, he isn't. By the time the team is pushing towards being a genuine cup contender he'll be wayyyyy too deep in his 30's regressing twice more than he already is.

As somebody who'd like to see this team win another cup in this lifetime, I'd like to ditch that horrific contract.

If you say he hasn't been good in years, you either do not watch this hockey or do not understand it. He's been excellent this season, pretty much every night. It's unmissable... at least one would assume so. If you're watching and missing it, and you actually imagine his contract is "horrific", I don't know what to tell you. Sounds a lot more like the standard irrational hate against Blues players from certain locals. And there's no amount of reality or logic that gets through that. Enjoy.

I genuinely can't understand why you always default to telling somebody that they are wrong when their opinion differs. It boggles my mind how incapable you are of having a genuine conversation about a Blues player without throwing a gigantic hissy fit. You put a giant blemish on this fanbase that won't go away. Do some self reflecting, man.

Parayko has been mediocre this season. His xG being nothing to write home about, as well as some very middling zone denial percentages. The eye test doesn't differ either. Just because he makes 1-2 decent plays a night doesn't mean he's suddenly an untouchable asset that will carry us into another cup.

His contract IS horrific. 6.5m until he's 37 is absolutely albatross. We'll be fighting for a cup by the time he's in his mid 30's and has regressed because shocker, his stat projection literally keeps regressing year after year. I don't want to have the next Tyler Myers on this team. paying 6.5m for a dude who will eventually be barely worth half.

If a team wants to pay a big package 1st+ for him, by all means. I'd take those assets over a regressing Parayko all day long.

Parayko played harder minutes than pietrangelo when he was here. The back injury was what did him in.

Pietrangelo was logging over 25 minutes the majority of his time in St. Louis. While Parayko logs roughly 23. The quality of comp is similar but Parayko isn’t playing a harder role.

Tf you on about, he does the job he’s paid to do. **** you want from him

It doesn't help to say I said things I didn't say. And yeah, if you think he's been mediocre this year, I'm gonna go with the irrational hatred thing. Seen this going on for decades, against most all of our best players. Whatever, man. You go ahead acting like I'm the one with the intractable opinion and have a good one.

Moot point anyway as the Sens can't afford Parayko this season. Chabot is about to come back

They should just try to sign DeMelo in the offseason and play him with Chabot next season. They had great chemistry a few years back but genius Dorion decided it was really better to have a 3rd round pick instead of Demelo...

No more trading first round picks or top prospects too. I'd target a young-ish 2-way forward for Brannstrom. A 2nd doesn't accomplish much, Brannstrom is quite underrated

Sure thing man. Keep throwing baby tantrums when somebody doesn't overvalue our players like you do. Really making this fanbase look great on this website!
