RWJC Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 In his latest for The Athletic, Harman Dayal names Stars center Radek Faksa as a cap-casualty trade candidate this summer. Faksa, 30, remains a strong shutdown pivot and has yielded good possession numbers the past two seasons after a disastrous 2021-22 campaign. He’s been a limited offensive talent for the last few years, though, and doesn’t appear close to discovering his early-season 30-point form. He had seven goals and 19 points in 74 games this season, tough to swallow for his $3.25MM cap hit. Faksa is entering the final season of his deal and has a five-team no-trade list, per CapFriendly. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/central-notes-blues-draft-plans-faksa-glass.html#google_vignette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like that's gonne change either with 3 consecutive 20ish point seasons. Fantastic defensively for the bottom 6 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Interesting player. Would Dallas retain? Worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 DAL chose him over Dickinson for that 3rd line role. Looks as though another in house product may be making the jump. Considering how they are able to continually develops NHL players through their pipeline I hope it’s something we model after. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how they are able to continually develops NHL players through their pipeline I hope it’s something we model after. Honestly I think it's a lot easier to develop solid prospects when you have a winning team. When your team sucks, young prospects are forced to play roles that are too advanced for their development curve, and it messes them up. I think we'll see a lot more internal promotion with this Canucks team moving forward. When you look back, the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Edler, Bieksa, Hansen, Raymond, and Schneider were all developed within through the WCE era (Nazzy/Bertuzzi) and into the early part of the Sedin era. The late Sedin era produced Tanev. Then the Canucks started to suck and our internal development went into the shitter as we had to rush players into the league. A winning culture makes a huge difference. It provides a safe space for prospects to develop and learn. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
