We actually have no idea how low a price, or how high a price, other teams were offering. This position is just as much conjecture as the other.

All we know is that Verbeek was willing to put in a high bid so he won. We do not know if it needed to be a fraction of what he gave up, or if he just squeaked across the finish line.

I think Verbeek was bidding against himself, but the Rangers didn't tell him. Just my opinion, but it should be as valid as other opinions since we have no idea that transpired.

On a tangent, I do know that Verbeek did try to ship Fowler off to the Rangers. That failed, but it was also leaked that Fowler was potentially part of a trade transaction. That, to me, was free advertising that Fowler is available. I thought it was odd at the time to see that Fowler potential trade leak and said it was bad form. Man, it feels like mafia style of doing things except Verbeek is bad at valuations. There is no Dr. Evil's #2 to tell Verbeek the appropriate value in today's terms.

Seems like an opportunity to get a pretty sweet Biakabatuka ECHL jersey
