IMO this would be a very good indicator of what a potential Weegar market could look like.

Parayko is 32, 4 years left after this one at $6.5M

Weegar is 32, 5 years left after this one at $6.25M

Buffalo's pick will probably be in the 20-22 range. Not too shabby for the Blues.

American teams are much better at tanking as their owners typically don't get as involved. I'm not blaming Conroy but for whatever reason it taking the Flames longer to get these deals done while the Blues and even Canucks just get down to business and move the players quickly.

Feels like too much for Parayko.

My god, Parayko is 32? I could've sworn he hasn't been in the league that long. But looking it up, it's been 10 years... damn!

Kypreos is great at talking about hockey, and culture, but would be the worlds worst gm

As crazy as it is, Buffalo actually may be legit. They are 4 points out of 1st in the East, 2 behind Tampa for 1st in the Atlantic.

Since Dec. 1 Buffalo is a ridiculous 26 - 8 - 1 for a .757 points %.

Coloardo has played at a .758 all season, so Buffalo has been playing elite hockey for 3 months now.

Parayko's 33 in two months. Sad for Buffalo fans to be honest, another unnecessary accelerated rebuild.

No. Unless it's a bigger deal with Thomas going to Buffalo too I don't see Power going in a deal for Parayyko

If thats true buffalo got robbed. parayko doesnt look like the same player lately and you get a 9th overall pick who is going to be a monster and almost made the sabres at 18 AND a 1st?


Not many deals getting done but the buying teams are paying through the nose

Parayko is still living off his reputation from 2018-2019. Highly overrated player, and has been for quite some time.

Really don't like this or get it at all from a BUF standpoint.

They have been rebuilding for 15 years.

The Sabres aren’t effing around.

That’s a lot to pay. But Parayko is exactly what they were missing - a big, reliable, seasoned RD who can eat up minutes on the 2nd pairing. And he’s not a rental. This gives them a pretty amazing top-4 (top-5 if you include a revitalized Samuelsson) for years. And if they’re not sold on Power, they can move him at some point for help at forward without opening a gaping hole in their blue line.
