Faulk trade targets

[Hulkacaniac]

They’d determine what they need. They’d still be a team juggling the cap room. If they want futures we’ve got plenty. Doubt they want Faulk. But honestly not sure.

I think Tampa would be interested in Faulk on their right side.

Is Kucherov being shopped? I'd pay almost any price for him.

Svech and a 1st? Necas and Svech?

Aho and a 1st?

 

[geehaad]

No, no, and no.

I’m good.

 

[Moosetache]

No, no, and no.

I’m good.

Yeah, thats what I thought....and I agree. Unfortunately, thats what its gonna take on their side I am sure.

Or the next 4 first round picks....

 

[What the Faulk]

Svech and a 1st? Necas and Svech?

Aho and a 1st?

If his contract weren't up next year, some of those players might be on the table for me, though not those deals.

Hi, I’m a NYR fan, but the Canes are my 2nd team. Every game I’ve watched thus far this season, Justin Faulk has looked much better than last year. Would I be wrong in my assessment? I don’t see a “Justin Faulk” thread, but I’m just curious, and also wondering if you guys still think he’s going to be traded.

You're correct. Faulk has played very well this year

Faulk has been awesome this year but I think that was predictable with DeHaan. He should still be traded! Don't cave! "Culture", "Fox", "Seattle!"

I think it is likely he is still traded. We have too many RHD, he’s got the shortest contract, probably expensive if we even can sign him, plus a couple of RHD prospects that will be pushing for a spot. His very good play this year just means we can get better value back.

He’s done better when he’s had a good partner like Sekera and deHaan.

This year has definitely been better. I could see him being traded, I’d like to get Carter, or someone that is available at Center.

I do think he is playing much better. I think he needed a "reset" of sorts to get back to the player he was before he started scoring all those goals. Probably bringing in Hamilton helps him a little psychologically not thinking that he has to be "the man" solely responsible for creating offense back there.

If he is traded at this point, it would likely be solely a business decision, ie they don't have the money to keep him and give Aho a big extension, for example. And at that point you might as well get some return in a trade instead of just letting him walk and get nothing.

That one Edmonton fan (ChaoticOrange, I think?) still probably believes he'd be the worst defensman on the Oilers, though.

Yea that’s good news. I wish Carolina could be a cap team. What a filthy defense. Including the insane prospect pool. My goodness. The expansion draft is going to suck.

He's not nearly as bad as that other dude who claims to have invented an entirely new metric that seems, without exception, to make all Oilers defensemen top 10 and all Hurricanes defensemen bottom of the league.

That guy’s a douche.

I’m fine with him staying, he’s slotted in very well right now. Someone has to go and on a daily basis it rotates which one I’d choose. Feels like Pesce is the odd man right now because he’s been hurt and hadn’t found his groove. Can’t imagjne giving him up though. I don’t know if Faulk’s re up price will be that bad as he’s not scoring very much anymore. He’s right about where he should be paid.

 

[Kevs Security]

Is Kucherov being shopped? I'd pay almost any price for him.

What the Faulk? Damn it would be sad to trade Kucherov just to keep Killorn and Callahan

 

[Hulkacaniac]

We’re pretty much set up to have to trade a RD pretty soon. Dougie, Faulk, Pesce, Tvr with McKeown and Fox in the pipeline possibly ready for next season. I was surprised they didn’t trade Faulk in the off-season but they played their cards right given how good Faulk’s season has been. I’m guessing they’d look hardest at trading Faulk since he might be tougher to re-sign.

 

[NotOpie]

One guy that keeps getting overlooked is Luke Martin. He's nearly a Brett Pesce clone with a little more of an edge. Good 1st pass out of the zone, solid skater, big kid with strength. He'll never put up a lot of offense, but he doesn't have a muffin of a shot either. I believe he's one of the reasons that Pesce's name even surfaces in trade talks.
