We are not trading Fowler unless we get a top 6 forward coming our way. We are not interested in acquiring defenseman even if we trade two away.
So Merrill + Reid Boucher + 2017 conditional first (if devils miss playoffs, push the 1st to 2018)
Bouch would be a top 6 forward for the Ducks.
Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler, Silfverberg, Rakell, Boucher as the top 6
Cogliano, Vermette, Thompson, Garbutt, Wagner, Raymond as the bottom 6.

Remove any and all defensemen as the Ducks are loaded on the back end. They do not need any forward prospect which is what your offering. Add a current top 6 forward or there is nothing to talk about. It's pretty simple if they move Fowler it will be for a top 6 winger period.
So I copied and pasted the top LWs for each team below out of a depth chart online. I used the ELC comment or low money player. These are only LWs (as noted by the depth chart I really did not ck too much) and in some places Cs too but not RWs.
Who fits the bill for Ana fans? The two in red are out of the western div, Drouin, good luck and next yr he gets paid so its a short term fix, and your doing this again with expansion draft as well. Sheary from Pitt, not sure if its the experience Ana wants, bit he's a cup winner. He's 5'8 175 so it does not fit the hulking player Ana says it wants. Burakovsky is another one that may be the right fit.

Leafs have lots of forwards...
Bozak + Kapanen + Leivo
4
Fowler + Stoner
Ducks clear cap and add offence.
what are Morgan Rielly's advanced stats like?I personally would stay far away from Fowler, especially given his price tag. I have a feeling his advanced stats will keep us away. Plus he is a LHD, so we might as well just use Gardiner there then.
So unless we flip him right away for a RHD, no thanks. Plus we would never take Stoner.

Ducks will wait for the perfect deal before making any moves. I mean it's not like they don't have the cap space to sign their best defenceman! They can afford to wait...
Looks pretty decent as a top pair on team NA at the world cup...i wonder if the same would happen if his NHL team was...oh, i don't know....good? Nope, not possible...he's a Leaf...he sucks.
