3 Stars Of The Month

I was hesitant to put Parayko as the 1st Star due to him being given the honor just last month but to do so would be adding myself to the long list of people underrating Colton's incredibly season so far. What he has done this year is worthy of serious Norris discussion but as expected he is getting none. Parayko ranks 4th among all defensemen in goals scored with 15, ranks 6th in the league in blocked shots, and has the least PIM among any of the top 30 defensemen pt leaders with just 8 on the season.

He has kicked his game into yet another gear following the 4 Nations Face-Off. As Parayko continues to push his career high scoring season even higher, our offense and defense have begun to depend on him more and more. There is no one on this team as important as Colton, and without him we would be looking at winning the draft right now instead of possibly sneaking into the playoffs.
