Colton Parayko, a proven top-four defenseman and Stanley Cup winner could be a great addition to the Canucks' defensive core. However, the fact that the 30-year-old still has seven years on his contract could be concerning. Vrana, a former first-rounder who's proven to be a goal scorer, could address the lack of scoring on the team's bottom 6.
While this deal may look good on the surface, for this year, it may not look as good in years to come. Is Parayko the type of defenceman who ages well and who's play doesn't regress? Is this deal worth the risk?
