Yeah, but not so mouth-watering to imagine giving up $7.5 million a year plus the assets to acquire him. There are much, much bigger holes to fill.
Faceoffs are an important detail, but they are still a detail. I worked out a couple of years back, when the Flames had the worst FO% in the league, that it was costing them about one minute per game of possession time (compared to average). You just don't pay $7.5 million to fix that.
