What a steal, and a bit of redemption for Nill after yesterday

Would've been nice to get a pick with him, but having a good defensive forward to ease some of that load from Thomas will be nice.

We just helped Dallas be able to re-sign Harley.

For futures? Dallas could have received more than that shit.
No way. He was unmovable as is. You guys were gonna be stuck with him leaving Harley in a vacuum. Army bailed you out. Big time!!! You’re welcome!

Is faksa not good anymore?
No, hasn't been for a while.
He was a healthy scratch for parts of the PO too.
He's slow and has almost 0 offensive instincts, literally always make the worse possible play in the o-zone.
He's ok defensively but will get out of position/beat a lot because of poor reads. He used to be a lot better in that regard.
He is good at Faceoffs and decent at the PK

Faksa is still a really good defensive forward. Not elite anymore, but getting him for nothing is a good get for St. Louis. Especially since Thomas is so terrible defensively.

It's a good trade for both. Dallas frees up cap for nothing, and STL gets a solid 4th line C. He was just overpaid for what Dallas needed.

This is incredible. Everything we had been told for over a year was that a pick, and a good one (like top 75), had to be attached to Faksa to move his contract.

Hoping this frees up Blumel to make the main roster in Dallas. If this ends with him on the Stars and Faksa full time in Ottawa then I am happy!

Looking like this was a move to be able to sign Harley to a bigger more long term deal. Loved Radek but we could no longer afford him . His game als slipped in recent years sadly.
