Confirmed Trade: [ANA/STL] Cam Fowler and 2027 4th round pick for 2027 2nd round pick and Jeremie Biakabutuka

[Reality Czech]

don't really get this for St. Louis unless they plan on flipping him or someone else?

Leddy injured and our only other reliable LHD are Broberg and Suter. Both guys have been asked to do too much and none of the stopgaps like Joseph and Perunovich have really panned out.

Likely the Pens 2026 2nd?

Leddy probably out long term and wanted another vet

 

[Reality Czech]

Zach Dean or Alexandrov as the prospect going back?

Don't wanna give up on Dean yet but Alexandrov already has that beach blonde flow going, so prefer if it's him.

never thought id see the day the ducks traded fowler

Blues have the 2026 Pens 5th not the 2nd.

 

[Arthuros]

Man, Fowler constantly got saddled with partners that would otherwise be journeymen and some of the worst players in the league. Ate way more minutes than he should have.

Sucks that he's gone - good luck, Cam.

Twitter saying Biakabutuka. Not sure if reliable source.

What great news to wake up to

 

[Linkens Mastery]

So it's basically just Fowler and a 4th for a 2nd. Ok that's not too bad. Was expecting a better prospect.

 

[Mike Liut]

Fowler - Parayko should be a good top pairing and allows Broberg to play 2nd pairing with Faulk, and Suter on the 3rd to help his minutes.

I loved him in College Football!

 

[Arthuros]

...that name is made up.

 

[Satan]

Sick trade

 

[Rooch]

I never want to see Minty or Zelly in the press box again.

It most certainly is not! Tim Biakabatuka was a beastly RB at Michigan!

 

[ponder719]

...that name is made up.

In the sense that all names are, yes, but it's one we've seen before. His uncle was a RB for the Carolina Panthers.

 

[kanucks25]

The heck... this is basically for free lol.

I imagine Fowler was promised he wouldn't be flipped.

 

[sxvnert]

Sounds like Fowler just wanted out and the ducks and blues made it happen.

 

[CraigBillington]

...that name is made up.

Cam Fowler has been an nhl player for years

Hasn't the writing been on the wall for a couple years now? Feel like there have been a ton of rumors involving him.

Man not sure if it's just me but Pat Verbeek seems awful at trading. The Trouba deal was god awful.

Hes giving up a decent d man here and a 4th, retaining almost half the contract for a season and a half and all he's getting is a pick upgrade?

What a silly trade.

They've got young defensemen being scratched and Fowler isn't as good as he was, they're at the bottom of the league. It makes sense.
