Yeah Parayko didnt have Fox and Miller on his team. Trouba is the hardest D man in the league and is absolutely terrifying to play against. It matters, you pay the price there arent second chances and he can move the puck.Parayko finished first on the Blues this past season for TOI among defensemen. Trouba finished third on the Rangers.
Zadorov finished sixth on Vancouver.
One of these things is not like the other.
Zadorov is a bottom-pairing defenseman
Both of these are trueZadorov is WAY better than Trouba
So is Trouba...I'm a Rangers and Canucks fan. Give me Zadorov at 6mil over Trouba at 8mil. I don't watch nearly enough St Louis to accurately comment on Parayko but I'm willing to bet he's the one you want.Zadorov is a bottom-pairing defenseman
Trouba's also been on the ice for the last 7 Carolina goals. Coincidence? Possibly. But there's a reason he had the least ice time of all Rangers dmen tonight.Yeah Parayko didnt have Fox and Miller on his team.

Clearly you haven’t or you’d be voting for him.Has anyone actually watched Parayko since 2019?
Tanev is a much better player than Zadorov and he was actually traded for a whole lot more than a 4thwhat? guys like zadorov get given away for free every year(95% because of idiot GMs who want corsi so everyone tasked with defending is automatically "their worst player"), zadorov himself was gifted away twice once for a 3rd and again for a 5th and 3rd, edmundson went for a 5th pre-injury, Savard with retention for a 4th, tanev for a 4th, scandella for a 4th and then a 2nd... meanwhile there's a guy in this draft silayev who might go top 5, he's gonna become zadorov and get traded for a 5th in 2034 but there's a small chance he becomes parayko so some team might risk it all just for the chance. and if he does then that team will be in a very good spot moving forward. there is a big difference, zadorov is a depth dman like any other and parayko is a star #2 dman like ekholm, mcdonagh, lindholm, slavin etc.
