Sujet: Paraykos value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>STLBlues17</b></div><div>I mean I think it makes the most sense for both team and player to trade him. He’s such a zero on offense that he isn’t exactly helping us win, but he’s so good defensively that he would be an amazing piece on a team where others can pick up the slack. Plus I don’t imagine he’ll be any good by the time the blues are in a contention window. He’s worth a lot though, like a Parayko trade would need to be so good that it takes a year off of this rebuild.</div></div>

Wait... Parayko is a zero on offense? Huh? He's our best transition, zone entry and Ozone keep-in Dman, and is tied fir second in the league among Dmen in 5v5 goals. Now, finally, they put him on the PP, and immediately his unit scores in consecutive games. Last season, he had the same amount of even strength points as Morgan Rielly. The real issue is out coaches keep making him play against top lines with our 3rd and 4th line forwards.

And this notion that he won't be good anymore when we're capable of competing... I just don't get this pessimist view of everything, like it will take five years to do anything. If you switched Krug out for even just a do no harm J-Bo type, we'd probably be up around Dallas right now. From one change. I mean, where was Vancouver last season?

I know us Blues fans are conditioned to accept the worst, it's just all so fatalistic. But fine... you think we should trade Colt now. So where and for what? And don't forget his NTC, otherwise known as the secondary logo of the Blues.

Long story short, we're not intentionally tanking the entirety of Thomas and Kyrou's prime, man. We're gonna do what we always do, try to get and be competitive.

I've had a few... interesting conversations with Sens fans and I think so many are short-sighted. OTT has handled their rebuild very well. I get it, trust me, when you're going through a rebuild and you're getting close to being out of it you can get a bit impatient. Due to the division their in and the current state of development of some of their young players, more specifically their dmen, the Sens are probably a year away from being a playoff team and probably two to three from being a true contender.

To me you ride out contracts like Zaitsev. Be patient and he'll be gone soon. The goalie situation will be different by then and if Forsberg doesn't emerge as a true #1, you have some time to figure out the options. The defense is not ready yet, but they will be.

OTT made some big moves this off-season, but personally, I'd avoid any other big moves for now. Let the young guys take a few more steps, let teams like Boston and Tampa fizzle out and enjoy a long run at the top.
