Stats wise 22 year old Fasching seems to be pretty much even with 24 year old Spencer Foo.
They must have a high expectation for Hickey.
Also seems to indicate that there is a code about poaching NCAA UFAs

Not sure I'd agree
Fasching has been out of school for three seasons and has now been traded twice.
Pro season 1 - 12 points in 37 games at the AHL level and 1 point in 10 games at the NHL level
Pro season 2 - 30 points in 69 games at the AHL level and no points in 5 games at the NHL level
That's .39 ppg AHL and .13 ppg NHL
Spencer Foo has only one pro season
AHL 39 points in 62 games .63 ppg
NHL 2 points in 4 games .50 ppg
Given Foo's ppg splits these players aren't comparable, and if you dig deeper in Foo's emergence in season on they're not even close.
Foo first 30 games ... 6-7-13 for .43
Foo last 32 games ... 14-12-26 for .84
