Friedman: Trade that might make sense only to me: something around Justin Faulk from Carolina to Detroit for

[ManwithNoIdentity]

This is an epic hosing for Carolina if it were to happen.

But all means, let's do this!

Clumsily force feeding your meme on the first post that remotely touches on your point? That is funny.

In fact, stating that AA would be a disappointing return for a solid #2 based on history matches exactly what the majority of posts in this thread say. Bad troll job is bad.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

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?

Probably 3.5 to 4.5 for a long term contract.

"Trade that might make sense only to me"

And still, people are acting like this is a rumor instead of an independent thought.

Not gonna sell low on Faulk especially for AA.

Yep!
Absolutely 0% chance Faulk returns a Hall-level player.
Just because one GM is horrible at his job doesn't mean the other 30 are.

Probably something in the neighborhood of $2.5 million to $3 million per for Athanasiou.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

AA no thanks....maybe Larkin.

Yeah Faulk isn't getting you Larkin, No Way Jose.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Makes sense to Detroit too. Can't see why Carolina takes that as a deal though.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Carolina would have been better off offer sheeting AA and making Holland inflate his contract or letting him walk over getting gouged into giving up Faulk for him who holds far more value

 

[ManofSteel55]

Faulk won't bring a young quality center in.

Faulk won't bring in a franchise player, but there are guys who unexpectedly become mid to lower level #1C's, like Zibanejad when he was traded. Faulk for a prospect centre with upside who could become a 1C could make some sense.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Faulk to Detroit doesn't make sense though. Send him to a rebuilding team, why not a team in need of defense that's contending?

 

[HoweHullOrr]

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

#HFLogic

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.

Logic? Thankfully, GMs routinely visit this website to get their ideas about trades from HF experts.

Additional, logic - We will get our stud defender for lesser bits/scraps if we keep making posts with this theme.

 

[firstemperor]

Faulk's value has dropped but not that much......

 

[TCNorthstars]

What would Detroit have to add to AA to make the deal?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Carolina would have been better off offer sheeting AA and making Holland inflate his contract or letting him walk over getting gouged into giving up Faulk for him who holds far more value

Yeah good luck honestly thinking that Carolina would be able to offer sheet AA, First off with the reported possible salary cap being as high as $82 million and with possibly both Franzen and Kronwall on LTIR the Wings could've close to $29 million without dealing a single player. Plus Andreas Athanasiou is salary arbitrating this year and if he takes Detroit to salary arbitration then that blocks any offer sheet. Besides Detroit would match any reasonable offer sheet on AA any ways.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I do it for Mantha. Not AA

 

[Redder Winger]

That's not really worthy of being posted. As said above, the idea of the designation was for news.

Good lord. Look at all the awful trade proposals on this board.
There's no reason why something like this isn't "worthy" of being posted.

 

[Redder Winger]

Faulk to Detroit doesn't make sense though. Send him to a rebuilding team, why not a team in need of defense that's contending?

You could do worse than a 26 year old defenseman for a rebuild.
In the next couple years, guys like Cholowksi and Hronek should make the Red Wings. It would help if they had competent, still near their prime, defenseman to play with.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I do it for Mantha. Not AA

Faulk wouldn't net either Larkin or Mantha right now. He's good but not that great to give up either one of those guys.

 

[Funk21]

Would Wings fans be okay with a 2018 first and Soshnikov or Leivo?

 

[Ezekial]

Where's the dotted line?

 

[Redder Winger]

Faulk wouldn't net either Larkin or Mantha right now. He's good but not that great to give up either one of those guys.

I don't think Faulk for Mantha is that bad a deal if you can sign Faulk.
If he walks... that's a problem.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Justin Faulk for Andreas Athanasiou

If I'm Carolina I'm doing this deal ! Faulk ain't what he used to be and AA is a kid on the rise. Can't see though how this helps Detroit?

 

[THall4]

Im missing the part where it makes sense for Carolina...don't they need a C ...and not another good, not great top 6 winger.

He'd be our best dman even at his current state. Lose Green gain Faulk and have that pathetic d corps behind him.
