Proposal: Pit/Stl: Justin Faulk for Jack Johnson

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I think you could move Faulk for future considerations or whatever (better than taking on Jack Johnson and his contract) to a team like Calgary.

Brodie, Hamonic, Gustafsson are gone. Hanifin is likely traded... they will have the capspace and they'll need a D or two and Faulk has great bounce back potential and he is only 28 years old.

Devils would probably take him too.

Ew no thanks.

You see that contract of Faulk's?. He can barely outscore JJ, yet JJ can probably defend better. And makes half as much for half as long.

That’s not true whatsoever lol.

We need him as our #2RD with insurance in case Armstrong doesn't sign Parayko next year to an extension.

 

[PensandCaps]

That’s not true whatsoever lol.

litteraly all of it is true

Ok, you can go ahead and keep thinking Johnson is a better player than Faulk. You’d be the only one.

Can't see PIT being on board with this trade from a cash standpoint. Aren't they dealing with an internal cap?

 

[Blueston]

Faulk may be a bit overpaid but JJ ain’t even NHL player at this point. Pass.

Send the paperwork over! I would do this in a heartbeat! Realistically, though, I can't see Pittsburgh doing this. I think the best way the Blues can move Faulk's contract is to convince Seattle to take him in the Expansion Draft.
