Proposal: Habs and Ducks

[GUY 10]

Perhaps. However there are many teams in the league on the demand side that would want or could use a #2 dman like Cam Fowler. Last time I checked, there is not a lot of supply. One team's GM might think he's going to fleece Murray in a trade, only to lose the player to another team who makes a more desirable offer.

Just because Fowler hasn't been traded yet doesn't mean that there is a lack of demand. The Ducks ABSOLUTELY cannot trade Fowler until they have a deal with Lindholm, even if it means that Lindholm's contract is not resolved until the regular season. The deal has to address our need for scoring help and help us to reduce salary.

Murray's challenge is that it becomes more difficult every day to make a significant trade that meets multiple objectives as the regular season approaches, but that's his problem to solve.

I agree. Now that every team has signed their rosters, there aren't many left who have the cap space to take on Fowler's salary without shedding a good portion of it in return. Perhaps a deal can be worked out once Lindholm has been re-signed.

Montreal's interest in Fowler is for a fast puck-moving LD to pair with the slower Weber on the 1D. I watched the pre-season Ducks' game on Sunday against the watered-down version of the Kings, and was not impressed with Fowler's performance. Granted, it was only a pre-season game, and I don't watch many Ducks games. Perhaps his game steps up when there's 2 points on the line. I'm not putting him down, just noting an observation from 1 recent game.

uhh, Fowler was probably the best player for us in that game.

Fowler would absolutely thrive in a situation paired with Weber. He's used to carrying around the likes of Kevin Bieksa FFS.
