Parayko is off to a poor start to the season again and if they are open to moving him then I think there is a deal that could work.
Huberdeau (30 yr old, 1993, 7 years remaining)
Hanifin (26 yr old, 1997, UFA)
$15.45M combined salary
For
Parayko (30 yr old, 1993, 6 years remaining)
Kyrou (25 yr old, 1998, 7 years remaining)
$14.62M combined salary
Similar total ages. Similar total salary. 1W 1D for 1W 1D.
Both teams don't want to fully rebuild. Both teams want a shake up and change of scenery. Both teams have guys the fan base has turned on (Huberdeau and Kyrou)
Honestly I think it's something that could work for both sides.

Just own Huberdeau for what he is right now. Hanifin is worth a 1st (if not more). Prioritize that. Build your own team, and deal with your own problems as you move forward.

Honestly I disagree.
Getting rid of Huberdeau, and buying low on Kyrou would be absolutley worth more than the 1st you'd get for Hanifin. Even if you're eating Parayko too (IMO that just opens up moving Andersson in the offseason)
Kyrou was a guy most wanted in a Tkachuk package...he's struggled with his overall game since 2022 but he's young enough to still fit a window of a retool.
