I like the targets except for Parayko’s 6 more years at $6M taking him to 36 years of age.
Parayko has seen a decline in his play since Petrangelo left for Vegas a couple of years ago and he isn’t going to get any better now that he has reached 30 years of age.

Kyrou has fallen out of favor with the St Louis fans after his comment following Berube’s firing.
I would prefer to see a one for one, Nylander for Kyrou trade.

Regarding Colton Parayko you can't teach size at 6'6" and 228 lbs. Leafs need size on their defence. The Leafs defence gets pushed around quite a bit. I don't see any better Defencemen via trade. He is a shutdown defenceman with a big shot. Something the Leafs really need. Pairing him with Reilly may do wonders for Reilly jumping into the play creating offence from the backend. Kyrou would immediately slot behind Matthews as 2nd line center as Tavares needs to move over to the wing. Changes the dynamic of the team making it a better all round team or at the very least moving the team in the right direction close to being complete. Leafs may want to check in on Lawson Crouse as he would be a solid replacement for a departing Tyler Bertuzzi. Jarnkrok, a prospect and a high draft pick might get Lawson Crouse to the Leafs.

@WayneMarner he is NOT a shutdown D. He's been a dumpster fire since his all-star partner left.

Hard pass from Leafs. Parayko is grossly overpaid and his game is getting worse. Although he does have almost as many goals as Kyrou lol. Blues are stuck with that brutal contract. Kyrou is on pace for 13 goals this season.
