Valuable player on a Cup contender.
1st rate penalty killer and his line is always a shut-down line. Very good defensively and good at faceoffs.
Main problem is He gives very little offense (though did score a shorty last night).
Reason he is viewed as a possible trade piece is he makes 3.5m and Dallas is hard against the cap. So if there is any option to bring in a top 4 defenseman which might be the piece which makes Dallas a cup contender or even favourite in West...faksa may have to be the moveable piece.
Dallas has Dellandrea as the 13th fwd at moment who can come in and support the 4th line and defensive game similair to faksa.
So while his play is beneficial in the playoffs, they can cover his lose on their 4th line and PK. Yet free up salary for an important defensive piece.
Still a good player though.
