13. Colton Parayko
Right Defense, St. Louis Blues
Age: 29
Stats: 56 GP, 3 G, 16 A, 19 Pts
Contract: Seven more seasons, $6.5 million AAV
Scoop: Parayko has been a hot topic in St. Louis as GM Doug Armstrong begins to remake the Blues. There is no doubt that Armstrong would like to find some salary cap flexibility on his blue line. Here’s the thing: Justin Faulk, Torey Krug, Nick Leddy and Parayko all have at least three seasons remaining on their deals. They combine for $23.5 million (28 percent of the cap). They also all have full ‘no-trade’ clauses. Outside of Krug, Parayko is the one likely with the most market value
36. Marco Scandella
Left Defense, St. Louis Blues
Age: 33
Stats: 3 GP, 0 G, 0 A, 0 Pts
Contract: 1 more season, $3.275 million AAV
Scoop: See No. 13 in Colton Parayko. The Blues are dying to create a little cap flexibility on their backend. They’d kill to break free from Scandella’s contract, which seemed to be a mistake signing from jump street. Playing on his third team in 2019-20, after trading 2nd and 4th round picks for him, the Blues signed Scandella to a four-year, $13.1 million deal just two months after acquiring him. It was signed just a few weeks into the pandemic. Scandella has been hurt, hasn’t lived up to his pay, but the Blues will have to pay to move him.
