Let's just say st. louis is willing to move Parayko. using your deal as the starting point in negotiation let's try to figure this out.

To start let's make it clear st. louis doesn't have cap space this year. However, next year with the cap increase they have a whopping 23 million. They don't need to sign any significant RFA except edmondson. They lose 3 UFA dmen but will be looking to replace them with the money they have.

I feel a deal starts with taking 1 of those 3 dmen off their hands. Bouwmeester 5.3, gunnarsson 2.85 and a lesser extent bortuzzo 1.9

Putting bouwmeester in the package gets st. louis really thinking. I mean 25% of 5.3 is not pocket change and everyone loves saving actual money. So by giving them this cap relief lessens the package needed to give up. Now, since they have the space to resign Gardiner next year this deal starts to make sense. They will get a good look at him and if they like it's great but if they don't like or he simply doesn't resign I think st. louis would love to get a 1st round pick. Yes that pick is going to be 26-31 but when st. louis traded their pick away they thought they'd be giving up just a 26-31 pick. now it looks like a lottery pick so got to make that up in any way possible. ouch to them.

Next I think just to be nice let's give st. louis their 4th round pick. why not it was theirs anyways.

Now we are dealing with paryako so I don't think we are done. St. louis will want a prospect to add to revolving door to their ELC contracts they play with their what 11 player core. st. louis needs some speed so you guest it Jeremy Bracco.

I still don't think this is enough. they are going to want a d prospect to keep that door revolving also. leafs say no to any Liljegren or Sandin chatter so what's left? They will want to replace paryakos size and physicality some day and I watched this kid the other day and yes it's only the ohl but damn he hit everything in his path. still very raw but worth the reward if one day you'll be singing the blues when you cross that blue line. his name Fedor Gordeev . HUGE

Gardiner, brown, conditional 2019 1st, 2019 st. louis 4th, Bracco, Gordeev
For
Parayko and bouwmeester.

Lose the 4th if deal is for gunnarsson
Bortuzzo doesn't help much for st. louis so take him off table

If this goes down the leafs need to replace Brown. gauthier, Lindholm, Ennis. it's ok and all but no real RW. I suggest call up Craknell or Engvall. both big grinders.
Next leafs get extra dman in deal so I suggest waive marincin but somehow Holl will be the choice. either way 1 of them must go unless leafs want to roll with 3 extra dmen and just for fun try Holl on RW.
