Also, the longer this drags out the less likely it is that Toronto gets a full return on Nylander's value. HFBoards is regularly shocked at trade values for players who have "complications" going on around them.
The Leafs are cruising for now, but if they start losing games on account of a shallow defensive group then things will start getting tense for Dubas. Under those conditions, even if Pesce is the "fair hockey value" equivalent to a Nylander, it might be that Faulk could get the deal done.
If Faulk can get it done, I'd pay his airfare to Toronto.
