Sabres haven't played the cap dump for draft pick game. Doubt they do it for three years of Faska.

No chance they do. Nobody is taking on salary right now.

Doesn't Khudobin play pre-season games? It is unlikely that they will be able to put a healthy player in LTIR, perhaps they will simply trade him.
The Sabres should make this trade.
First, the Sabres had the worse FO% of all NHL teams by a wide margin (there was a bigger difference between 32nd Sabres and 31st Devils than the Devils and 26th Krakens, Faksa won 55.5% of his FO over the past two years.
Second, the Sabres PK ranked 26th last year with a 76.4% success rate. Faksa was one of the Stars top PK forwards.
Third, Faksa is over paid by about $1,000,000 the second is a fair sweetener for that cap hit, but maybe Karmanos could squeeze another pick our of the Stars.
Fourth, I am actually happy that this was not a Robertson trade.
