Boomer, Pinder, and Rhett react to the breaking news that Colton Parayko has declined to waive his no-trade clause to join the Buffalo Sabres, killing the reported deal between Buffalo and the St. Louis Blues. The guys break down Elliotte Friedman’s report, the added insight from Frank Seravalli that Parayko is open to leaving St. Louis but specifically rejected Buffalo, and Kevin Weekes’ note that the veteran defenseman would prefer to remain in the Western Conference. With teams like the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings mentioned as possible fits, the crew debates what this means for the Blues, the Sabres, and the NHL trade market.

Word is they have a restaurant chain in Missouri and don't want to leave it.
What's the point of negotiating a no trade contract if its not your decision whether you go or not.
The Blues signed the contract just like he did.
A deals a deal.
Because Buffalo could easily return to a wasteland next year.
Parayko was awful in the Olympics.
Weeger took 2 hours, He took 18 hours. He doesn't want to move his family but i'm sure on Friday he will, what a scum bag. We offered a good haul for him.
The city of Buffalo sucks, but the surrounding areas are awesome (Clarence, Orchard Park, Amherst East Aurora etc…)
WTF is this ? Terrible look for the both of these Teams ! As a Player I would be Pissed ! makes Pareyko look like a Villain!
Why announce it? When the Player has not approved the Trade
Why do we even know about this trade? Obviously he wasn't feeling it and it was leaked to put pressure on him to waive.
The Sabers have a decent team, but playing in that area would be a no go for me also. The weather alone is reason to not go there.
Parayko wants to be a Leaf. Everyone knows that.
Nobody wants to play for that owner
The NHL sucks today. Why are WAGs given so much power??!!
At least the Sabres miss out on a player who does not prioritize winning. IT SUCKS FOR THE ENTIRE LEAGUE THAT A CONTENDER LIKE THE SABRES, in a market where people actually give a shit, CAN’T SIGN KEY PIECES IN ADVANCE OF THE PLAYOFFS.
Sabres can’t sign free agents, they can’t trade for anyone above average, and can’t spend more than anyone else. The league is literally engineered against them.
No -trade clauses torpedo the league’s entertainment value.
Fuck parayko! Were winning without him!
I'm glad he didn't agree to going to buffalo. He can suck in St Louis. The sabres would've gotten fleeced with this trade. He's not worth 2 1st round picks. I also appreciate Rhett calling him out about buffalo. We don't need Debbie downers in our city or on our teams.
I think the problem with the Blues is, the team is more than likely done with, Armstrong's shit, & the way he handles things around the Blues .
Add in the fact to the way he dealt with, Petro .
Sabres dodged a bullet. They will rip through whoever with what they have.
No trade clause. Probably wears bikini bottoms.
The No move and no trade clauses were the worst thing to be allowed to be put in the CBA. Just a player that can't read the room. The Blues suck and need to rebuild but you have players that don't wanna leave. Ha! Now I hope the second to worse team in the league looks up at the standings and sees the Sabres tied for first in the Atlantic Division and goes ohhhh. Losers and silver medal mentality. I don't like Parayko anyway. Wrong side of 30 and aging and will never taste the playoffs ever again.
Buffalo is better with this trade not going down. Parayko is almost 33 years old with three years left on a $6.5 million AAV. No thank you! Also, Parayko said he wants to stay in the Western Conference. He's not just saying no to Buffalo.
Sabres have the best record in hockey over the last three months. A true alpha would think “im the guy that will take this team over the top let’s go win the cup” guy was the worst d man on team Canada who just disappointed their whole country now this. Complete loser. Enjoy the rebuild Colton
I want Colten to lay his mother down…..and have sex with her
Parayko is dating a local girl whose family owns a big chain of pizza restaurants here, and I would imagine she was a big part of the decision. He also loves it here and is very active in the community, etc. Apparently he said he prefers to stay in the west and would be open to teams like LA or Anaheim. Lol, I'm no Nostradamus, but I can picture a scenario where your woman says "You want to move Where!?" And then adds something like "Now if it's somewhere warm with a beach. . ." Ultimately (and partly because Parayko is such a for real nice guy) I think this in no way was negative toward Buffalo–he just didn't want to move there with multiple years left on his contract.
Buffalo fans acting like it’s the first time they’ve heard of a player not wanting to play there 😂
We don't need him… 🤷♂️
Thank God he's not coming to Buffalo
Thank the Lord he did that. They can keep him
Sounded like three retards talking
Parayko is not loved after his decision ….by the team and owners.
If they don' t get any good deal outside those 14 teams he is not accepting, they should move him to press box the rest of theseason.
His agent can be in trouble too. Later on..
Blues has no goals beside selling guys like him and making goid deals.
He was absolutely right, I would never put my family through this. They should not throw around these no moves if they want to tread players like a piece of meat and force them to make a decision within a few hours.
As a Sabres fan, We dodged a bullet by not getting this old guy .
Love Rhett's hat… ned me one of them!!
Do you think every general manager in any sport has a Bat Phone to make and field calls before the trade deadline?
Old turning 33 next month with back issues on the decline, Sabres dodged a MAJOR bullet
Sabres fan here, but from what the "word" was, Buffalo was wanting this trade but wasn't it said there were other teams in on Parayko? So if there was interest from other clubs, wouldn't he have been traded after saying no to Buffalo?
No-trade and no-move clauses in the NHL are limiting teams' flexibility to make trades, which can hinder the excitement and competitiveness of the league. Too many players have these clauses, making it difficult for teams to execute significant trades and impacting overall team dynamics. Owners really need to negotiate for less of this crap imo.
If was me i wont gave him that contact 😂
