Fowler has always been the guy being moved. And he's coming here

I really don't know how i feel about him on this team. There's a lot to like and a lot to dislike about him.

Pair him with someone who punches people in the face and call it a day! Oh and not on the top pairing

I'd put Fowler with Deslauriers. He's the next Shea Weber.

I think it depends on cost. He's a top 4 d man. Makes a mill less than Bogo. I don't think he's great, don't hate him.

Problem is, he might actually be the best option available

People get me so aggravated with he has to hit etc .. I would put Him with risto
And there would be your lethal combination I think people forget Nicholas Lindstrom never used to be physical etc he was just a very very very very smart defenseman

You're missing the joke.

But Folwer is not the top pairing guy we are looking for IMO but he is a good fit for Top 4

For the price we would be paying for him you better put him on the top pairing
He would be better than anything we've had in the last couple years

fowler costs us players/picks

yandle costs us no players or picks, but 2 mil more on the cap

if you get yandle as a free agent, you can move the dead weight for picks, prospects or package a few for 1 player that will make a bigger impact on this club come fall

Compared to the utter and complete crap we have beyond Risto and to a much smaller extent McCabe Fowler would be like Doughty to us

You seem to think he is worth more than most everyone else thinks he is worth.

If the rumored deal of Girgensons for Fowler is in fact true then what is this massive cost?

He is a good top 4 blueliner

Fowler stinks for the price tag to get him.
Just sign a UFA, you will get the same level Dman as Fowler

He's top pairing guy unless you sign Gologoski or Yandle.

I love this but what happens if you don't get Yandel you have to put Cam on the top pairing agreed ? I think it's us the rangers or Boston Boston

fowler/risto
yandle/bogo
mccabe/gorges/nelson


that is a pretty good group of d men

my guess is we go from bottom 3rd in the league to fringe top 3rd

no matter what tanner thinks of franson

There's two D man available who are close to Fowler and I'd say both will be pretty impossible to sign

Agreed but I think if you're willing to pay big (and they should be for a d-man)you can find someone better

He is worth a lot IMO and it's a price I would not pay because I think it's stupid
He's on a good contract he's young he gets up to 30 points a year left handed defenseman power play QB is everything a team wants he's just soft Lol

If we draft one of the top three then you'd put Fowler as number 1 D for a year or two till the top pick is ready

a solid under rated signing would be Wiercioch once the Sens don't qualify him. Hes better than the Sens used him (really strong underlying defensive numbers). He would be a good guy to have be a short term filler on the 2nd pairing.

Goligoski or Yandle would be nice pick ups, but thats a lot of Cap and probably NMCs that would have to be handed out to sign those guys. Cant see them now asking for them. I think the big name UFA market is dicey and you would have to give out the NMC to sign the big names
