Rangers don't need Fowler at all. If anything, they'd be targeting Vatanen. I feel like a trade around Vatanen and Miller could be a decent enough base.

Ducks need more forwards, Rangers need more defenseman.

Can't see a deal between the two here w/o a third party that accomplishes anything meaningful. Rangers only have 2 mil in cap space and 2 mil isn't going to help the Ducks enough to get Lindholm signed.

Rangers are set with LD the Rangers need RD so more then likely Vatanen not Fowler would be involved though i doubt Murray has any interest in moving Vatanen after just resigning him.

Fowler can play the right side but the issue here is the cap and maybe real dollars that Anaheim would need to free up to get Lindholm signed. Rangers don't have enough of it to where a trade with them can make that happen.

I love that this board value Sami more than Cam...I hope a GM out there does as well and we can move Sami and keep Cam. This is coming from a guy who views Fowler as a #2-4 Dman. I just think we have the guys in our system - Montour and even Theodore to replace most of what Sami brings.

#NYR have Chris Drury and Gordie Clark in attendance here tonight. Could be checking out Ducks' D-men.



It probably has to do with Cam Fowler, but is there any chance whatsoever the Rangers can pry Sami Vatanen from the Ducks? Maybe JT Miller+ for Vats?


If it's Fowler, can he be had for pennies on the dollar?

No it won't be Vatanen and no you won't get Fowler for pennies on the dollar he will cost good young forward or high picks/prospects.

More like Tanner Glass for Fowler :yo:

Your miles off. Glass is useless.

Is Vatanen struggling?

Struggling 2 games into the season. No not at all.

Would Ducks trade Vats? They just signed him.

Most likely no. He was very good last year and I doubt they signed him to trade him.

What would acquiring Vatanen from the Ducks cost the Oilers?

Really I don't think he is available but if they did move him it would not be to a team in the west and surely not a team in same division without a hefty price.

Okay i thought i heard that Fowler wasn't good on the right side, Still wouldn't mind bringing him home a DDK-Fowler pairing might be pretty sweet. Yeah Tatar and Miller make the same and a Tatar for Fowler deal wouldn't work out for Anaheim maybe something around Spooner for Fowler would make far more sense here.
