Description
I don’t think BUF fans are very high on TT so they may be willing to send him back to get a good 3C who can take the D-zone draws while Eichel and Cozens get the O-Zone starts. DLR is a solid 4th liner.

Arizona does this deal because Hjal, Demers, and Goligoski are all out of contracts next season, freeing up tons of cap but leaving them with few viable NHL defensemen. Faulk would feature as the 1RHD and get much more ice time than he would in STL.

Toronto decides to try to win before having to move any of their core. The get a defensive minded RD with cup experience at 2.5. Different Toronto fans have different opinions on Lilj but I think he would have a future as a great 3RD and PP specialist on the Blues, learning under two of the best RDs in the league. Him and Perunovich get top line minutes in Springfield.

ARI would probably look to move one of their RDs in order to create cap space for Hall, not in order to replace one of them with something quite likely to be a veeery bad contract

Sabres fans are extremely high on TT... They still think he has top 6 potential...

No way from ARZ, Faulk was just bad in STL (on the bottom pair ig...?) Imagine that on the top pair 😬😬😬 not to mention that extension is quickly (an predicably) shaping up to be one of the worst contracts in the league

Nahhhhhhhhhh, you don't get to give Faulk a $45.5M contract over 7 years and then get rid of him before that contract kicks in. The Blues made their bed, now they have to lie in it.
