I'm always cautious with guys that have one great season and then struggle to repeat it. AA is a few years younger and less experienced, still establishing himself. Where as Faulk most likely "is what he is", AA could still find that consistency that is his biggest problem and become a 30+ goal scorer.
There's been talk of AA being available for the right young D-man for at least 1 year. "on the market" doesn't mean they've wanted to get rid of him, just that he hasn't been the untouchable piece that Larkin and Mantha have been.
Come on dude really? So AA whom had 29 points last season hasn't reached 30 yet are we really going to go there and he has 23 points as of now well on his way for 30 or more points this year. None of us here think that AA for Faulk is fair value but gee when you suggest a guy in like 67 games playing only about 10 minutes per night has 29 points last season gee just because he hasn't reached 30 yet Okay.
Just can't see it happening. Detroit's not adding their first and AA is more of what we already have throughout the roster. Middle 6 talent. If anything the Canes should be the ones looking to package Faulk and a pick for an upgrade up front. AA isn't an upgrade.
