Fowler isn't getting moved and I don't see LaCombe getting moved right now either. It would be selling low.I like this move. LaCombe or Fowler must be on the way out.

I like this pickup. Good PKer. Solid bottom 4 guy (preferably bottom 2). But there's a huge logjam on the left side now unless Zellweger and LaCombe/Vaakanainen all move over to the right.
Yeah I can't tell if the price is good or concerning.I remember liking him in the past and have called for us to acquire him when he seemed to fall out of favor in Pittsburgh, so I don't hate this at all. A pretty darn proven veteran D who barely cost more than a Ben Meyers
This is just what fowler sympathizers say…. But ignore the fact that fowler can’t do it eitherOf course, because he has to play half a game as other D man cannot withstand such minutes throughout the whole season. Of course we have seen him play
Fowler can't do it but if you place any other player on our roster in the same spot it would becomeThis is just what fowler sympathizers say…. But ignore the fact that fowler can’t do it either

"[That Player] can't do it" and we would just be burning them out too.
Yeah, Zellweger looked fine over there. I've got no problem with that. And maybe Luneau is the other RD, but they'll have Vaakanainen/LaCombe over there until Luneau is ready.I remember liking him in the past and have called for us to acquire him when he seemed to fall out of favor in Pittsburgh, so I don't hate this at all.

When Verbeek made his comment about playing guys on their proper side, I swear he just forgot to name Zell as an exception. Had the kid playing his off side on the top pairing with barely any NHL experience. I have no problem considering Zell a RD moving forward, he looks completely comfortable and possibly more dangerous over there.
Who else would Fowler be replaced with? And if you think he would be replaced by whoever he is traded for, why on earth would we receive a better player in return for him if he is as bad as you suggest?the argument of comparing 1st year players to 14 year vets isn’t really a great one.
People around love to give fowler any sort of credit but none of the blame, making up excuses for him 24/7

Fowler - Zell
Mintyukov - Gudas
Dumoulin - LaCombe/Vaak (Luneau eventually)
I’ve never suggested we’d get a better player for him… chances are we’d get a pick prospect and cap dumpWho else would Fowler be replaced with?

So the plan is to trade Fowler and then force a new, worse player to play those minutes? Or one of the 2nd year players?I’ve never suggested we’d get a better player for him… chances are we’d get a pick prospect and cap dump
This,While I like the move, I don't understand. Verbeek re-signed Vaak and now has a logjam at LD with this trade. There's gotta be another move in the works.
Where did you get all that fromSo the plan is to trade Fowler and then force a new, worse player to play those minutes? Or one of the 2nd year players?
The argument is pretty simple, Fowler is eating tough minutes so we don't have to throw players who are developing, and on who we are counting on to be more or less important pieces of our future, to the volwes.the argument of comparing 1st year players to 14 year vets isn’t really a great one.

He doesn’t play the right side but he’s an outstanding fit for this roster. This move makes me think that we could see a 3rd pairing of
Dumolin-Luneau
We really need an RHD to play with Mintyukov or Zellweger now

Why stop there? He's at best a 3rd string water boy now! He's at best the 4th guy I would want to serve me my fries now.Credit to Fowler for what he has done, but he is at best a 4th/5th D-man now.
Bring in someone that better compliments those guys... fowler doesnt compliment any of our young guys.The argument is pretty simple, Fowler is eating tough minutes so we don't have to throw players who are developing, and oh who we are counting on to be more or less important pieces of our future, to the volwes.
Well like you said, we wouldn't be trading Fowler for a better player, we'd be trading him for a cap dump/picks/prospects.Where did you get all that from
Doesnt mean you can go out and get a better dmen with assets... i just dont think fowler would really accomplish that goal based on value alone.Well like you said, we wouldn't be trading Fowler for a better player, we'd be trading him for a cap dump/picks/prospects.
So that means our options are to either playing a worse player in those minutes, throwing one of our 2nd year players into those minutes, or miraculously finding a top pairing LD for this off-season. He will be a great fit with our equally-miraculous RD that we are picking up lol
jeez calm down. Now your making stuff up. His stats are inflated because he plays alot of minuts. Maybe someone can link the advanced stats, but it wasnt good.Why stop there? He's at best a 3rd string water boy now! He's at best the 4th guy I would want to serve me my fries now.
1st in points, 1st in assists, 2nd in goals, 1st in time on ice, I think you're being a little rough on the Fowler. Our team seems to disagree, a bit.
