This is whats being said about Justin Faulk:

Carolina has had some questionable goaltending over the years (save 2013 and 2015). If they just received average goaltending over this timeframe, they would have been about 75 goals better – and that’s substantial.

But Faulk’s numbers are even worse. Faulk’s on-ice save percentage is 90.7. That means that in the minutes Faulk has been on the ice, Carolina is 52 goals worse than league average and 27 goals worse than what Carolina could have reasonably expected with their goaltending talent.

About that 90.7 save percentage: It’s the worst number of any defender in the past six years, true by a considerable margin

Edmonton is not giving up a 1st for him.

I’m not debating that he had a horrible year, on both sides of the puck. But he is a 26 RHD, (e-time all star and Olympian) that scores more goals than the average off defenseman in the league. That has a lot of value in the NHL. Now you might not like the trade but we both know that there are GMs willing to pay it. He’s certainly due a bounce back year and he and Sekera have enormous chemistry. Pairing them together again would likely restart both of their careers.

Yes he does score goals, but this is not just a one off comment for Faulk, this has been said about his game for years. His game has also been on the decline. He is young and that can change, but I find it hard pressed to think that GM's will be willing to part with a 1st for Faulk. Shattenkirk was traded for a 1st and 2 prospects at the peak of his trade value, Jones and a second is fair value for Faulk
