I seriously doubt they'd get more at the TDL.
Trade deadlines include massive overpayments of trades. Pacs in the market where every single team in the NHL is looking to get better at offense would provide a huge return. He is in the top 10 in goals scored since the 2013-14 season. Goal scorers dont come for free and certainly dont cost two lesser players. Usually, a team would want a a player relatively good at his position, something Fowler sure isnt.
Or you could realize that the two are talented, well established players that complement another's style very well. It's pretty clear you haven't seen enough of their play to form an educated opinion.
This is one of the most respectable delas I've seen on the trade section. The first few pages of discussion were really good too, until Legend123 decided to clog the thread with nonsense.

When is the last time a player was moved at the deadline for a #2, 24 year old defenseman, and a younger top 6 forward? Unless you just values futures way more, than you're wrong for guaranteeing it. It's one thing to say you think, but that's a very big return. Obviously you're severely underrating Fowler.
Who needs to watch players when you can stare at spreadsheets?
yeah cuz saying Beaulieu is a better skater suggests that
I'll admit I've soured a bit on Patches. I'm a big Habs fan, but I'd do this deal. Rackell scored 20 last year, Patches scores 30. Add input from Radulov and I think Montreal's top nine are decent enough to offset those ten goals.
There's a lack of a good, minute-munching LD for the top pair and I doubt Beaulieu is going to be that guy - I just haven't seen enough hockey sense from him for that, and he's always injured.
I'd do this deal....
Fowler is a good minute munching top pairing LD? lol
Wouldnt touch him with a 10 foot pole (if the asking price is Pacioretty), it's Lindholm or nothing.
Just because you don't see his value doesn't mean it's not there. He played 22:47 per game last season. That's minute-munching right there. I'd rather have Lindholm too, but that would be more of a one-for-one swap. To get Rackell in, Fowler's a good piece to add, at least in the context of this trade proposal.
Plus, he's still only 24, and Rackell is 23. Both have the potential to get better (although Fowler does have his own injury history).
i'd take Lindholm in a 1 for 1 trade for Patches well before moving him for Rakell and Fowler, Fowler is the same type of player that Beaulieu is.
Rakell had a solid season points-wise last year but he also played super soft minutes, Anaheim sheltered him hard (he played against weak competition and had 60% ozone starts).
If Anaheim insists on moving Fowler+ for Patches i'd want Fowler + Silfverberg + Cogliano for Patches + DD. Basically replace Rakell with Silfverberg and swap DD/Cogliano.
Bwahahahahaha. Dream big, eh?
lol thats my opinion from watching more than enough games from the Ducks in the playoffs.
Rakell is listed as a C and RW on every website. From the games Ive watched including the WC, I have seen him either on the RW or C. And even if he was a LW, why the bloody hell would the habs significantly downgrade from Pacs to Rakell just to acquire Fowler??? lmao. I would rather see what Bealieu can do with Weber. I would be more confident with him as his D mate than Fowler. If things dont work out, im sure the habs can make a trade to acquire a good LD in a deal that doesnt include our best goal scorer.

pacioretty and bealieau for lindblom and rakell
pacioretty and bealieau for lindblom and rakell
Rackell is a centre is he not? Who moves to the wing and who replaces Max's goals? It's an ok deal but not sure if the Habs would be any better after it, especially contract wise.
If you can't spell his name, you can't make the deal......
of course, why would i settle for Fowler + Rakell when were trading our captain whos one of the most cap efficient players in the league?
We don't want Nash. Nash doesn't even get one of Rakell or Fowler
