Crap return.

 

[jiggsawpuzzle35]

Honestly would’ve just kept him as a duck. Unlike killorn, for example, he’s been with us long enough to get a pass in my book. Unless the return was decent or once he hit the milestone of 1k. This seems pointless and just making space for Trouba. f*** you killorn.

His spot in the line up prevents our young defensemen from playing.

Well, I hope the prospect is somewhat interesting, because a second rounder years away isn't great.

 

[Arthuros]

Second must be awhile from now.

Yuck. Over 1/3 retention just for a 2nd.

So we could sit zellweger minty and lacombe?

Pass on that idea

 

[FlyingV09]

He’s not that good anymore. I’m not sure what you guys were expecting.

And a prospect lol

Not something good, but something useful now. We need forwards.

 

[freikugel]

At this point it's just addition by subtraction, the returns were never going to be great for one of the worst defensemen currently in the league making over 6m a year

 

[Rooch]

Addition by subtraction. Thanks for everything, Cam.

Idk people blame everyone else for Fowler’s failure

 

[Leonardo87]

Omg Christmas came early.

The miracle here is I beat @MMC .

 

[freikugel]

Now we just need to trick some analytics minded GM to ignore Killorn's zone bias stats and get rid of him too. And Cronin while we're at it.

lol thank god it was 10 a.m. where you lived.

One advantage of being on the EST, lol.

Mostly because Trouba now. And Gudas really isn’t much better is he?

I’d take Gudas over Cam with his physical play, but Gudas has been trash this year.

Blues at Ducks, March 7.

Yeah I don’t really disagree. I guess I just don’t see this making a significant difference. Even the slightest addition by subtraction is underwhelming when you’re getting rid of a career duck for a distant 2nd and some prospect who will probably amount to nothing. And retaining…

They’ve had years to trade Fowler before his value dropped significantly and they didn’t. I’m sure we’ll get a head scratcher return when Gibby gets traded too.

Future considerations and free chick fil a

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

This board would find a reason to be mad if Fowler was traded for Crosby straight up

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

We’re a Gibson trade away from this being Pat’s team entirely, and I am unmoved. I’ve said it before, but as far as I’m concerned, he’s got 2 years and 1 more head coaching hire to get it right, but it’s the Samuelis, so he’ll probably get as much rope as he needs; hopefully he figures it out like Jim Nill did in Dallas

Similar to Trouba return, but PV is not capable of that.
