I really like Faulk, but I think CAR is closer to being a genuine playoff team in the next 1-2 years and don't see Francis selling Faulk without a bonafide roster player coming back his way. Poirier value is also super low.

I think Francis would be forced to think about the following package for Faulk alone: Kylington + Klimchuk + 1st (16 OA 2017)

Even then, there are teams out there who would probably pay a more desperate price.

Oh yeah, and No thanks to Parenteau. Would rather have Garnet Hathaway playing a physical role on that line. Parenteau doesn't do anything physically and also doesn't do enough to help with possession scoring (and he's average in shot suppression).

No one wants plugs for all stars. Your post is like me saying Brenden gaunce stecher and a 2nd for Johnny sloppy and a 2nd.
