I personally wouldn't have much interest but I am in the minority most likely. I think it works for Edmonton more.
Faulk is good offensively but kind of meh defensively. The Leafs have a few of those, Faulk is right handed is the only difference really.
I hope the OP wasn’t suggesting that the two packages were equivalent. There’s a significant difference between the two. Toronto underpays, imo, although I'm sure their fans disagree based on how they view Kapanen. Edmonton overpays and I'm sure Oiler fans will take the opportunity to further trash Faulk in this thread.
Williams isn’t untouchable, but it’s unlikely that he, as one of the few veteran players and vocal leaders on a young team, would be pushed out the door. His former linemate was just named HC, to boot. He only goes if he wants go, imo.
Carolina is still in wait and see mode with the defense; it’s not as if they have to make a move to free up a spot for a prospect and unless Dundon goes full Melnyk, the budget won’t be a consideration in a decision to move him. Keeping him allows Bean, his offensive replacement, some time to develop in Charlotte and potentially allows Faulk to regain some lost value as his down offensive season was driven by an uncharacteristically low shooting percentage.

yes. we disagree because we view kapanen highly. leafs have no use for williams, and while faulk is a rhd he is basically a RH version of gardiner that doesnt pass as well but shoots harder. not the type the leafs are to be trading their young guns + 1st rd picks for. would the canes trade 1st rd picks + top prospects/young players for anything less than the 1C they need? didnt think so
Okay?
I wasn’t trying to argue that the Leafs should trade for Faulk. Even if they don’t value him highly, that doesn’t make 25OA or Kapanen any more appetizing of a centerpiece from a Carolina perspective.

Great big no thank you from Edmonton.
I like Faulk, he's a solid 2nd pairing offensive defenseman but also a defensive liability.
Not sure what is fair for him but I'd like him in Edmonton but not for your proposed package.
Williams is a good player but I'd rather take a shot at free agents and have zero interest in trading for rental wingers. I have no idea why a team that just missed the playoffs would trade for any rentals let alone a 36 year old one.
edit he's 36 not 35

Listen how Brind’Amour talks about Justin Williams and you’ll quickly come to the conclusion that the Canes aren’t trading him, Maybe at the deadline if the Canes are out of it, but not before.
