Speculation: Ducks grabbing a top 6 forward for Fowler/despres

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Well, we're 4 pages deep and nobody has stated the obvious....so...

To: TO Fowler

To: Ducks JVR

Maybe because this one has already been done to death so many times.

Maybe because this one has already been done to death so many times.

True, but it's pretty fair fit and value wise. The fact that both fanbases are 50/50 split means it's pretty close.

3 way +

3 way:

To Ana: Nyquist + Jurco
Reasoning: Fills Ducks needs for top and bottom six wingers.

To Wpg: Fowler + Wings 2017 1st(lottery protected top 7) + Saarijarvi
Reasoning: Fills Jets need for LHD and gives them 2 assets that won't have to be exposed in the expansion draft.

To Det: Trouba
Reasoning: Fills Wings need for young mobile RHD puck moving dman. Added bonus, he's from Michigan.

+

To N.J: Brendan Smith
Reasoning: They need help on D

To Det: 2017 2nd + 2018 2nd.
Reasoning: Frees up cap space to sign Trouba and Smith is replaced by G.R. dman who is no longer waiver exempt(Ouellet/Sproul/Jensen).

Boucher + pick for Despres would work from a Devils perspective.

Could be a cheap LW option for Anaheim.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

It seems like other GMs might be hoping that the longer this drags out, the more likely it is that they can get a D off the Ducks for a similar price to what the Isles gave up to get Boychuk.

Eh young dmen are premiums, idk that value will decrease

Yep I think I that's a good fit, maybe the addition could be a conditional pick based on Despres staying healthy. There's probably a better opportunity in Anaheim for Boucher to snag a scoring line role and Despres could be a great buy low top 4 dman for the Devils

 

[Coach Parker]

To Boston:

LHD Cam Fowler

To Anaheim:

C/W Ryan Spooner
LW Anders Bjork

Cheap, effective top six player ready to play top six minutes and a solid prospect. I put Bjork in there because of the glut of Bruins LW prospects.

Exactly.

Devils have extra thirds and extra seconds the next two drafts as well, so I think they would commit to that. Plus Despres has the Shero connection who also drafted him and played under Hynes a couple years in Wilkes-Barre.

I would prefer Fowler, but I don't think Boucher alone gets it done and I find it unlikely Cammalleri is moved as I doubt the Devils want to move him or the Ducks could fit him in.

As a Ducks fan, I pass.

If the prospect was more of a blue-chip would it garner more interest? I'm working under the tops six forward and ELC prospect proposition.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Bjork is definitely not a throw in if you've ever seen him play

LHD Cam Fowler

Have to upgrade the prospect to Senyshyn to keep my interest.

Exactly.

I'd propose Boucher + conditional 2018 3rd (becomes a 2nd if Despres plays 140 games or more in two seasons) for Despres.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

True, but it's pretty fair fit and value wise. The fact that both fanbases are 50/50 split means it's pretty close.

Actually value wise on a 1 for 1 deal it makes the most sense. At least for the Ducks not sure if Toronto can afford to lose a valuable winger like JVR though.

 

[Jim Bob]

It would appear that other GMs are unwilling to pay a premium for one of Anaheim's D.

If the rumors are true, Tim Murray moved on to the Kulikov deal after he couldn't agree on a deal for Fowler.

Other GMs know that the Ducks have a ton of D and that a move is more than likely going to have to happen. Only time will tell if Bob Murray can get a premium price or not.

 

[Mpasta]

As a Ducks fan, I pass.

I don't blame you

 

[LV*]

Dont want Fowler, and Despres looks like a bottom pairing D.

JvR for Vatanen (I know he isnt available)

 

[Coach Parker]

Intersting thought. I'd like to see what Bruins fans think about parting with him for a LHD upgrade. Steep price, but PMD's are at a premium.

 

[SEALBound]

Kunitz for Despres striaght up.

 

[Vipers31]

He has looked like a top-4 defender, even like a below-average-top-pairing-complimentary-guy until his injury on the Ducks. If he looks like a bottom pairing guy to you, it's either the quality or duration of your vision.

 

[Paul4587]

Kunitz for Despres striaght up.

Kunitz for Bieksa and a 2nd. Or Stoner and a 2nd.

I won't lie...i was against the deal because of the hole it created at LW. But after a few internal arguments with myself (because i have always believed you build from the net out), i think i would pull the trigger on a straight JVR for Fowler swap.

Fowler/Reilly
Gardiner/Zaitsev/Marincin
Hunwick/Polak/Carrick

That's a crap ton better than we witnessed last season. Is it playoff worthy? Maybe not, but with the additions of Andersen and Enroth, we wouldn't be a push over for goals against.

No thanks.

 

[Paul4587]

No thanks.

Fair enough. Was worth a shot.

 

[Der Jaeger]

No. BUF isn't willing to offer up the right assets to acquire Fowler. If they did, he'd be a Sabre already.

A young, contributing 1st line winger on a cheap contract is what we need. Girgs isn't that and you're not giving us anyone that fits that bill.

Lighten up, Francis. It was a sensing post to see what folks thought.
