Unless you guys can also shed Stoner's entire salary, you don't have the cap space to receive an actual top 6 forward in return of Fowler.
And i keep hearing Anaheim is a budget team. Is it true?? because normally, budget team aren't close to cap.
Even with Stoner traded, signing Lindholm and Rakell will take you very close to the cap.
I don't know. Odds are you won't receive an actual top 6 forward with related salary.
Tatar and Spooner are both top 6 forwards that we could trade for value and still save money. So Ducks don't have to give up their #2 defensemen for futures.
We're usually a cap team, but I believe the owners have allowed Murray to spend to the cap to re-sign the two RFAs.
If Murray was going to trade Fowler for futures, he would have. Since he hasn't, there's a good chance he's waiting to get a top 6 forward that's cheaper than Fowler as a return.
