1. You mean step up.
2. But potentially gaining with Faulk is not enough to offset the significant drop at forward. There's no guarantee Faulk will have a great season so you are putting a lot of risk in a young guy and an inconsistent Semin. I'd want an elite D coming back if parting with Parise.
I wouldn't have considered the deal at all, actually.
