NHL Trade Rumors: Colton Parayko for William Nylander

The Toronto Maple Leafs and St Louis Blues are rumored to be in trade talks over right handed defenseman, Colton Parayko. The 6'6 towering defenseman scored 6 goals, and 35 points last season. He is exactly what the Leafs need to stabilize their D-corps. Parayko has four more years remaining on his contract, which carries a cap hit of $5.5M.

The Leafs would have to offer a good player to entice the Blues to trade Parayko. Leafs winger, William Nylander, is a possibility. Nylander scored 20 goals, and 61 points last season. He is a restricted free agent currently without a contract. A deal would be dependent upon Nylander signing a long-term contract with the Blues.

A one-for-one trade might work for both sides. Maybe Toronto adds a piece since Parayko is a defenseman, and Nylander is a winger.
