Blues Trade
Parayko

Leafs Trade
Zaitsev
JD Greenway (USHL)
1st Round Pick 2019
4th Round Pick 2019 (Blues Pick)

I still believe Parayko is the Leafs main target, Parayko is a good solid DMan that I would compare to Myers in Winnipeg with Parayko being more tougher but similar Players, Parayko isn't an AllStar Defenceman so please people don't make Parayko out to be more than he truly is and saying it's not even close value wise.

Have a look at the Blues Team they have to do something to build more for the future, Zaitsev is a number 4 Defenceman on the Blues so he isn't a Depth Player and still in his prime years, JD Greenways stock has risen and is a true Prospect, add the 1st and 4th Round Picks and this is a pretty fair Trade Proposal, Cap Wise Parayko makes 1mill more than Zaitsev so Salary really isn't an issue.

Thoughts?

this is trash, greenways stock hasn't rise for nothing, that 1st is 26-31, Zaitsev is a huge downgrade from Parayko.

Stop this.

Not even close value wise. Zaitsev is a 6/ 7 defenseman with a terrible contract to boot. Pretty much a cap dump. The rest of the package is garbage.

Nylander + Liljegren or Sandin would be closer to being fair.

Not a very good trade for the Blues.

NYlander and Liljegren/ Sandin? Even Colt suggested Nylander and Lil for Parayko AND Kostin. Lol Marcus.

And Zaits is a number 4/ 5,not a 7, lol.

Slappers, to you he might be a #4, but all his advanced stats put him as a 5/ 6 at best. I think I'll put more weight on that evaluation than yours. If he really was a #4, Leafs fans wouldn't be trying so hard to dump him off.

@topshelf, Marcus thinks zaitsev is a # 7 because he said Gardiner is a #6. So adjust for reality and Gardiner is a good 3 and a great 4. Zaitsev is a decent 4 or a really good 5.

Marcus, people are trying to dump him because unless your d is stacked, 4D don't make 4 million. that's why. Zaitsy is still capable, his contract is just bloated for his role.

Okay guys. I know things like actual stats and reality don't have anything to do with Leafs players. Zaitsev is bottom pairing at best. Gardiner is middle pairing, but if Jim says he is bottom pairing as well, I can live with that.

But if you guys can point me to any stats that show Zaitsev as a 4D, I'd take a look at them. Anything I can find shows him as a bottom pairing guy if you give him the benefit of the doubt.
