Fasching was also one of Tim Murray's big gamble. Remember this trade?

2014-Mar-05 LA Kings trade Hudscon Fasching and Nicolas Deslauriers to Buffalo Sabres for Jonathan Parker, Brayden McNabb, round 2 pick in the 2014 draft (Alex Lintuniemi) and round 2 pick in the 2015 draft (Erik Cernak)

at the time the focal point of that trade was Fasching for Buffalo as McNabb for Deslauriers is about equal trade value. Less than 8 months after he was drafted by the Kings in the 4th round, Murray was so impressed by Fasching's breakout freshman season and world juniors he thought he was essentially worth 2 second round picks.

Well time with the Sabres organization would prove he wasn't. There was even some speculation that the Sabres were not going to qualify Fasching and let him walk as an UFA. Partly due to performance partly due to get buried on the depth chart.

I don't think there is much trade value in Fasching.
