<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Admittedly, this year hasn't been as good for him as the latest. But mostly I could say the biggest factor is the amount of d-zone starts he takes in comparison to how little goals DAL lets through. Last year, the ratio between the defensive compared to offensive zone starts was 74% to 26%, and the on ice save percentage with Faksa on ice was 93.5% in 2017-18 and 92.7% in 2018-19.

In comparison, these stats are higher than that of Cirelli's and Danault's respective stats for example, which are regarded as a great defensive centers. Obviously why those two are more valuable than Faksa is because they contribute offensively as well.

Also the guy doesn't fail the eye test, although that's a tad harder to prove. The only way to do that would be watching DAL games.

Fox could probably contribute quite a bit more offense if he didn’t have Cogs and Comeau chained to his ankles

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>Last off-season was probably the time to move Benn and Rads. Signing Pavs was a massive mistake and what happens when a GM is looking to land a big name to save his job</div></div>

To be fair, Dallas had just been 1 OT goal in game 7 away from knocking out the eventual cup champion and making the conference final, so it's understandable that they felt that they could squeeze in another go at the cup. And with the efficient defensive style they play they do have a chance at knocking out anyone in the playoffs this year.

But yeah, probably not too long left for them to get the best out of this team. That Benn contract is a huge backbreaker and probably limits how quickly they can do a retool.

Literally the first line: "While I doubt either Jim Nill or Dubas is contemplating anything of the sort, it seems we’ve already rocketed to Planet Make-Believe, so why not play pretend?"
Don't call it a rumor if it's "Planet Make-Believe".

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McFaksaGOAT</b></div><div>You gotta remember as well that the current system that Dallas runs does not support Klingbergs game AT ALL. Throw him in Toronto and he’s easily putting up 70 points. He had put up 60 a few years ago. I personally think the value is fair. Yeah I believe Marner is the better player, but Klingbergs value is that cap. A true number one defensemen at that price is rare</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>This is true. He regressed defensively this season.</div></div>

Klingberg was better defensively last year finishing 14% above the league average percentile in overall career contributions. He’s mainly an offensive defenseman, but the benefit of this trade for Toronto is they open up cap space to bring in the shutdown RHD like Gudas or DeMelo or Weegar whom they will use for tough matchups. So technically, their defense could look like:

Muzzin-Gudas
Rielly-Klingberg
Lehtonen-Holl

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>firezfurx</b></div><div>Toronto declines. We take out Liljegren and you take out Comeau and we accept. If that's not enough take SDA. He's worth like a 2nd. And Bracco if you want I know everyone laughs at him but he is 1 year removed from a over a ppg season in the A. Worth a 4th/5th.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>firezfurx</b></div><div>That's funny. As is Nylander has slightly more value then Klingberg. Nylander+3rd= Klingerg+Robertson.

Nylander is a big piece, 37 goal pace 70 pt pace playing on the 2nd line.

He would've been your top goal scorer by <strong>11 GOALS</strong> and your highest point producer by 9 points. He performed considerably better then Seguin, Benn, etc. People forget how good he is.</div></div>

Nylander and Klingberg are equal in my opinion. Dropping Liljegren and Comeau is absolutely ridiculous idea considering how good Robertson is.

Klingberg+Robertson = Nylander+3rd is the stupidest thing I've heard for a while now.

DAL is low scoring team so it's not exactly a surprise that Nylander would outscore players from the team. Tyler f***ing Ennis would be the 2nd highest scorer behind Seguin in this team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluetomorrow83</b></div><div>From the looks of it DAL has fairly poor RW prospects, no #3RD so I can't see how you say DAL has no need for either. Also DAL could have Dickinson/L'Esperance fill bottom 6 C roles for less money then Faksa</div></div>

While it may be true that these players would fill some needs, they aren't valuable enough for us to trade Faksa for them. You can get equivalents of those assets in level from free agency, but it's very hard to find another Faksa for that matter.

Our wingers are pretty versatile and able to play both wings with no problems.

I also don't think Puljujärvi is returning to NHL any time soon. He feels home in Finland and doesn't seem that eager to return to NA. He seems happy with being able to be one of the best in the Finnish league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>keep_ups12</b></div><div>8 years is different to 5/6 years. Petty will want 11mil for 8 years. Unless he takes a small discount I could see 10.5mil.

Chabot is way older than Hughes. This is Hughes rookie season. Next year Hughes will prove a lot more and will get 8 years 9mil. If Josi got that much Hughes will</div></div>

You're speaking this as if you know the future... a lot of "he will"s. I'm throwing out speculations based on comparable players. Barzal, Point and Aho are the closest thing we have to a comparable for Pettersson's contract currently, and only two of those contracts are known, and they are at a bridge and mid term length. Barzal the closest, and we don't know his contract yet.

I struggle to see a world where Pettersson takes 11M. Maybe if he was on Toronto, but I struggle to see that unless the Barzal contract gets messed up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Holy cow what a rip off that would be.


This trade screams ridiculousness in favor of Toronto. Kapanen himself isn't worth a 1st.
Faksa might not be a point producer, but he is one of the best defensive centers in the game. I'd call him equivalent to Kapanen in value ~ their strengths just differ.</div></div>

That's fair. And tbh, I know I overdid it in the return going to Toronto. Really wanted to see how Leafs fans gauged Kapanen, and what they thought their needs were.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Leafs say no thanks. We'd take Robertson instead of the 1st if Dallas would prefer.



The Leafs already have 3 solid centers. What they could really use is a top 4 RHD.</div></div>

Stars aren't giving up Robertson. He's 1 of 4 prospects that has a legitimate shot at being an impact player at the NHL level (Dellandrea, Oettinger &amp; Harley being the other 2). Those 4 guys are essentially the entire Stars prospect system. Trading any of them is a massive blow to an already thin farm-system.
