I would be surprised if Fowler isn’t moved this season.

Possibly, But me personally I don’t see many teams want him with such a down year last year. With only 5G and 18A with 23P and a -14, he will have to show more this year and play how he did in years past before other teams start asking about his availability.

True. I’ve got a feeling it has something to do with Montour being gone.

59 GP after breaking his orbital bone. Point totals still totally in line with his career numbers (23 points/59 games=0.39 ppg vs 272 points/620 games= 0.43 ppg). Also, +/- is a dumb stat. Played on a team riddled with injuries (most man games lost last season), that ran without Gibby in net for 24 games, and had Carter Rowney as their #1 C for a number of games. What more did you want him to show?

A) No reason to trade him. He's signed long term and fits into the Ducks strategy of developing from within.
B) He has a NTC that limits the team to trading with 4 other teams.

with that $16mm in cap space....why dont you do my Rangers a solid and take Shatty off our hands??? Ill throw in Vladdy as well because im that nice a guy

I agree. I think it was a down a year for him and I think it was mostly the team he’s with. I agree the +/- is a dumb stat but lots of people point it out as a way he’s bad player.

Naw, the Montour trade meant that one of he or Lindholm was playing with someone that wasn't ready to be put into a top 4 role yet. Too many injuries, not enough depth.

If they can get a RHD that can move up into that role they'd have a good shot at being a sneaky team next year. Could also see him being shifted to the right side, which might hurt him a bit, but he's a sound d-man that the Ducks are lucky to have.

what is the going rate for rakell now adays? i'm sure multiple teams would like to pick him up on that contract

He won’t get moved

Anyone is available for the right package

True but with a team who wants to get younger and faster with a very great contract, I don’t see him being moved.

I donno, by the time Anaheim is gonna be ready to be competitive again he's gonna need a raise and be close to 30, his contract is what makes him super appealing to everyone, they would get a really good return for him now.

why in gods name do you have devin shore on the first line? and why have the kids play 4th line minutes? they have to be in the top 9 or theyre better off in SD
