can't blame fowler for wanting out of this mess ASAP

verbeek probably made it clear to him that he preferred to move him ASAP as to give the young guys more playing time and fowler agreed to it knowing he wasn't in the team's future plans

I mean yes this is exactly what the media reported in September. Verbeek meet with Fowler (or his agent) and they agreed it was best they part ways, Fowler wanted it before the season. With out cap floor issues and Trouba almost traded around the draft, it seems clear to me, that Verbeek wanted to trade for Trouba before trading Fowler. Couldn’t get it done before season, was able to during the season and we got what we got.

Loved Fowler, wasn’t helping the team win games, and was blocking young talent from playing. The deal had to be made, So long and thank for all the fish.

Beautiful statement.

This:
"Thank you to the amazing Ducks fans who have supported me and this team over all these years. It was always an honor for me to play in front of you all at Honda Center. You made it a fun building to play in and always supported us, even in some difficult seasons. The support you all showed to me, even at such a young age, is something I will never forget."

doesn’t apply to a lot of you here but it does to me! And it made me happy to read it.

Beatiful indeed. Class act.

He irritated me with his soft play, "shin shots", and circling back in the zone a lot... but overall a solid, reliable player for us all these years (especially considering he played with so many crappy partners). Wish him the best.

To bad despres went down so fast that was his most promising partner
