Cam Fowler Trade Speculation Thread

[Thorny]

We desperately need wingers now. Our wings are atrocious

I think Okposo and Reinhart are great wingers. Not so confident with the left side.

[Randall Flagg]

Awww, Flagg. It's adorable that that's your recollection of events.

Haha what's yours?

Everyone and their cat wants Fowler on this team.

There were a few incredibly vocal anti-Fowler people, as well as people that didn't want to pay most hypothetical prices, and certainly not any realistic ones

I'm sure watching more Franson will bring them around.

Yeah. Fowler isn't perfect, but he's in my top 5 best skating defensemen in the NHL.

Who'll be the next name the whole board clamours over like lemmings. I jest I jest.  ;)

[LGR4GM]

Rumor: The Ducks are keen to get a good young player and a pick for Fowler. They will have to move him to get Lindholm under contract. Detroit, Buffalo, Toronto, basically half the east is rumored to be kicking the tires.

 

I do not think Buffalo has the ability to make this deal. I don't think Zemgus has enough value and I think we should keep Nylander. I would like Fowler in Buffalo but I don't see the players needed to pull it off. Baptiste and Picks isn't going to do it. 

[Hoss]

Would anybody here be willing to give Nylander up if the Ducks were sending Fowler and Silfverberg our way? Obviously we'd still need to add something to that.

No. I like Silfverberg, but he's really just a nice player and nothing more. If they want Nylander, I want Lindolm.

I am with Blue.

 

Nylander is the perfect compliment to our top 6 maybe as early as next year. He can skate with Jack or ROR and fit right in.

What about Girgs, Baptiste, and a pick? I don't think I'm saying that 10 pennies is worth more than a dollar here. You get a solid middle-six forward, a good young prospect, and a pick, all of which are cheap (and Girgensons is easy trade deadline bait). Maybe its a d-prospect instead of a forward, but I don't think that's terrible value either way.

I think they are looking more like Fasching/Bailey, Nylander for Fowler. 

 

If Boston didn't draft like a pile of garbage on fire being doused in napalm then they would be a good trade partner because they could use Fowler but they suck.

Um, no.

Fasching + Girgs + 2018 1st?

Maybe but I doubt it. Girgs has really low value right now

[WildCard]

True, but those are two players that fit Anaheim to a tee, and they're both extremely cheap

[LGR4GM]

True. I think if Anaheim continues to be mediocre it could happen but lots of teams are tire kicking

[PartyZombies]

Exactly. I don't even have a ton of interest for Fowler with the price tag they want anyway and I'm willing to bet neither does GMTM or we wouldn't have Kulikov. Granted the Ducks may be more willing to drop the price to help sign Lindholm, but I'd rather just offer sheet Lindholm than have Fowler.

[TrueBlueGED]

It's also worth noting we're only at about $1.7M in cap space. Just acquiring Fowler would require some maneuvering, but if we tack Silfverberg on top of that, we'd need to find about $6M in space. Given the Ducks' cap situation, a 3rd team would have to be involved.

[WildCard]

Give them Kane

[dudacek]

Give them Kane

Something very Marie Antoinette about this.

This helps them fit Lindolm under the cap...how? ;)

I believe she never actually said that ;)

How much is Fowler right now? Kane is what? $5M?

Fowler is 4. You would have to take a cap dump and retain 50% of Kane's salary to even start this. Further Kane is injured and most GM's won't trade for an injured player
