The hockey news recently suggested that the Oilers might be looking to make a trade for Cam Fowler and I just don't see it.
First, what is Edmonton going to give the Ducks? A bigger contract like Nuge or Eberle? Nope. Ducks wanna spend less last I heard.
Can't convince me that Puljujarvi or Drai are on the table.
Yakupov and picks aren't likely to interest the Ducks and I don't think the Ducks can afford to trade Folwer for magic beans since they're trying to compete now.
From the Oilers POV Fowler isn't as attractive as some think he might be.
We've got Klefbom, Sekera, Davidson, Reinhart and Nurse all competing to play on the left side next year. If Fowler were a righty Edmonton would likely be constantly harassing the Ducks to try to make something happen... but as I said before I don't think Edmonton has the right pieces on the table to get the Ducks' attention for any more than 2 seconds.
If Ducks re-sign Lindholm and put Fowler on the market, do you see these teams having any interest in making a trade involving Fowler?
