Seth Jones is week-to-week, and there are rumors that Florida is after Faulk

LOL. Florida has nothing to offer other than a discount on vacation getaways.

Panthers are really beat up in critical positions. It was always to be tough to land 3 straight Cups, and given their injury situation, I doubt they expend any young talent for a player that isn't going to make a difference anyway.

Panthers like line depth, so maybe they take Buchnevich and his contract too--along with Faulk.

In other words, the benefit to the Blues for Faulk is that Army slithers out from under the Buchnevich contract.

Or maybe getting rid of Buchnevich is simply a dessert mirage for me. :)

He’s pretty good. We could do a lot worse

Supposedly he projects as good quality bottom-6 center. It would be great to find a good LT solution at 4C.

I know that I am in the minority but I don’t want to see us corner the market on bottom six talent, if your going to make a trade we need first round picks and prospects with a shot of breaking the top six.

Not sure that FLA has any cap space once Tkachuk and Barkov return. The new playoff cap starts this year too, so have no idea how they could be compliant if they acquired Faulk unless Jones is done for the year.

I doubt Barkov plays a game this year. I know he's started skating but he's still months away from even being able to be hit.
