I'm not sure which is more far fetched, that the Blues would make that Parayko deal or that the Hawks would eat a retention slot for seven years to help them do it.

Pretty sure Bouchard would have to be included in a Parayko deal or the blues won’t do it

Tho I seriously doubt the oilers would go for it then

Detroit accepts.

There’s 0 reason for the Blues to want Bouchard at the expense of Parayko unless we’re trying to set the record for goals against

Good cause literally no Oilers fan or GM in the League would trade Bouchard for Parayko.

Also, you may want ti adjust your narrative about Bouchard’s defensive play. Check his analytics lately, he’s been good defensively and he’s near generational offensively, only scratching the surface of what he can do offensively.

That package doesn't even dump Campbell's contract let alone get you Raddysh, a 6th, and 7 freaking years of retention. C'mon man, at least try to be realistic.

Easy no for the blues

Detroit takes that and runs.

Take out broberg, erne, and the ridiculous retention then add another first or Holloway.

Hawks obviously decline.

That is horrible for the Hawks.

Be brave and join the rest of us in the real world.

That's good, i'm happy for him. Was moreso meant that we cannot afford to trade Parayko for an offensively tilted d man. The only reason our defense is working when it does is Parayko is shouldering 90% of the top lines.
