I know Faulk isn't having the greatest year but his value has to be higher than Athanasiou doesn't it?

Has he fallen that badly?

 

[thesensguy]

Carolina would really be selling low on Faulk

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Done

 

[Joel Ward]

That would be absolutely awful for Carolina. No way they sell that low on Faulk.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Seems like bad value for the Canes. Imagine the response to this idea had it been presented before this season?

 

[Liferleafer]

That seems super cheap for Faulk.

 

[Foppberg]

I wish fans would stop posting Friedman speculating as if it's insider information. He's not selling it as insider info or a rumor.

I mean nobody said it was, I don't see anything wrong with speculation.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I know Faulk has been bad this season, but yikes...

 

[Morgs]

Yikes.

Basically like the Leafs offering Brown for Faulk. Except that might actually be better..

 

[96]

Leafs will outbid that easily.

 

[Funk21]

Does anybody know what kind of money AA is looking for? I would want to lock up for 4-5 years. I'm sure TML would be interested in trading for him as he is young and plays a 200 foot game. The question is what would Detroit be looking for, Could a pick? and yes maybe a first rounder plus a player like Sosh or Leivo cut it?

 

[Kyleftlx]

I don’t think Friedman is trying to say that the deal would 100% be just Faulk for just Athanasiou. He said, “something around x for x” which could mean more additions. Detroit would surely add in this situation.

 

[Advanced stats]

Why does Friedman keep suggesting "big name defenseman" to Detroit? I thought it was general knowledge that Detroit has to rebuild?

 

[Brock Radunske]

Guys, remember we have a realistic baseline for trading defenceman on HFboards.

Hall for Larsson.
Since Faulk>Larsson, Detroit is going to have to offer something better than Hall

[Stickpucker]

AA no thanks....maybe Larkin.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Radunske's Thoughts:

Teams outside of the playoff race are looking to sell.
Teams in the playoff race are looking to buy.

Tune in next week for more "insider info"

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Krieder for Faulk makes the most sense.

 

[Morgs]

Krieder for Faulk makes the most sense.

Yeah, that gives them the young C they've needed for a while.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Yeah, that gives them the young C they've needed for a while.

Faulk won't bring a young quality center in.

 

[GoldiFox]

Faulk is in the same range as Adam Larsson who returned Taylor Hall. AA would be a disappointment, although I would like him on the Canes.

 

[Baxterman]

I'm really not sure if Friedman has declined in a big way since his reputation blew up, or if he never deserved it blowing up to begin with.

Either way, yikes.

Neither

Its people misunderstand what he does so they think that everytime he suggests something that he is saying that is inside information that will happen when in fact he reporting things that may make sense.

He does exactly what he says he is doing, does it well but people get mad either because they don't understand that or they want him to be an insider giving scoops.

I understand this.

The problem is that the trade he is just proposed is pretty lopsided and everyone even slightly knowledegable about the players involved can see that.

I think it's fair to expect better from a guy being paid to give his opinions.

Ill have to read it again as I didn't really pay attention to that as I am not a fan of either team but did he say one for one or say a deal around those pieces could be worked out?
