<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>Faber's shown the ability to up his level of play when going against top-level competition at his age group. His World Juniors he ended up being the partner for Cam York on the top pairing, over players like Jake Sanderson. He then went and had a very good year for his college program and was nominated for the Defensive Player of the Year Award for the B1G. I believe the Kings view him with 2nd pairing NHL upside when he hits the professional level.

The pieces you have going to LA do nothing to move the needle. They have absolutely no interest in 3 replacement level bottom-6 players because there are already too many of those on the Kings roster as is. And even if there was interest, the # of contracts the Kings have and need to sign mean they don't want to bring in an extra two contracts.

So to sum up: You have the two best assets in the Kings trade going to the Bruins, you overload the Kings contract situation, and the Kings take on even more bottom-6 talent for them to try to sort through. Kings decline very easily.</div></div>

I understand now, thanks for the reasoning. Trade doesn't make much sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>He has been a standout in all of the international tournaments since being drafted. He was a finalist for the B1G defensive player of the year as a Freshman, losing out to Sophomore Cam York. Most scouts agreed that after this season, Faber probably should have gone in the first round.

LA took Grans higher than Faber, yet most agree that Faber overtook Grans this year. He's a solid two-way guy that was touted for his defensive zone play, but has since become much better in the offensive zone. Not sure he'll be a top pairing guy, but he'll be a quality 2nd pairing guy. LA is hoping he'll become the new Slava Voynov (on-ice comparison only, obviously).

Unless it's for a significant upgrade, Faber isn't going anywhere.</div></div>

Thanks for the explanation, makes lots of sense now. Appreciate it.
