Why does anyone want Parayko? He has average to below average anayltics, sucks offensively and makes a ton of money. For 4 mil ill take him as a rental for a 2nd or 3rd rounder, thats it. All this for 7 years is brutal

Blues fans will get mad at this but its true, sorry. If you traded him youd agree with me

Yeah let's retain 6 1/2 more years of Parayko at 2 mil AAV!

Leafs will give you a crap return and tell you how awful he is just so they can justify the turd sandwich they're giving you!

But Leafs fans will continue creating Parayko to Leafs CFACGMs every half hour!

Nobody is saying he's bad. His contract sucks and you know that. No other team in the NHL will be willing to give up what we are for him which is why they'll accept. Calling a 1st round pick, Robertson and Hirvonen a turd sandwich is crazy considering their potential and value. Next time maybe don't sign a bad contract. Maybe give me your trade proposal?

Uhh what now? His contract is fine. What sucks is that you somehow imagine that this garbage offer can;t be beat. Dude, teams have been calling nonstop for him since before the Cup season. A late 1st, a small forward who can't stay in one piece and a B prospect that is the exact opposite of what the Blues are looking for does NOT get you a genuine 1RD with 12M of retention. Your garbage offer doesn't even come anywhere near paying for just the retention.

You guys up there have a problem.

So you don’t have a problem paying a defender 6.5m until he’s 37? Players mostly decline in their 30s. Recently 34 has been a big number. Parayko is already declining.

You guys still haven’t proposed an offer. That’s how I know you guys hop on this website just to argue because you think you know everything lmao. I’ve been right with lots of trades in the past so Ik how to value players. You can’t make me feel wrong because you’re too attached to your top defender. Lets not forget that you guys are also in a retool which can take another 2-3 years. It’s best for the Blues to trade Parayko now. no one else will make what the Maple Leafs are offering. And that’s on you guys for having to retain 12M. Next time give your defender a better deal for your org.

You guys up there have a problem

For the 5,373,612th time: I am not interested in trading Parayko. To any team. And certainly not to a team with terrible trade capital, a surefire bottom 10 prospect pool. And I am DEFINITELY do not have any interest in giving 12M+ in retention, let alone for a package of smoldering garbage. You somehow imagine that 12M+ should be free to your team, which is purely idiotic. OBVIOUSLY.

And FFS, we're not "up there" from Toronto. This is the Dunning-Kruger divorce from reality I'm talking about. We've all said all this stuff hundreds upon hundreds of times. Non-Blues fans have said this hundreds and hundreds of time. Even some Leafs fans have said this hundreds and hundreds of times.

You guys do not listen. Ever. To any reason, facts or logic. You just keep swearing up and down that your cap dumps and bottom line players should fetch a legit 1RD (!!!!!), AND that you should also get historic amounts of retention. FOR FREE.

I'm at a total loss for how to even deal with your lot anymore. No type of reply breaks through. Not polite. Not joking around. Not satire. Not the riot act. Not pleading and begging. And least of all, any sort of info that exists in reality that you guys just cannot handle. Nothing works. Nothing makes a dent. And this entire day has been NUTS from your lot. On a level never seen before. Worst of all time, which is saying so much.

Whatever, man. You won't ingest any of this and you'll be back later with another amazing offer and explaining how the Blues should rush over and subsidize your team beyond all logic. Enjoy all that.
