I hope you're not genuinely expecting any Ducks fan to say yes to this.

 

[Goose of Reason]

None of those players are close to getting Fowler

Take it as a reflection how Jets fans see Fowler.......and no I don't expect any Ducks fan to agree we know they over value him.

Or you undervalue him...

Overvalue or not, none of those listed players is enough for Fowler 1 for 1

 

[Maukkis]

Let's rephrase it... is there a deal around Dano and Fowler? We all know that any other name on the list definitely doesn't come close.

I like Dano but we could probably do better. There'd have to be a pretty big add to him. Detroit fans have offered Tatar and Bruins fans have offered Spooner. Those players are more in line with his value.

 

[Hunter368]

Age old debate true, plus not just me most Jets fans and many others. He's a 3/4 Dman being forced to play above his level doesn't make him him a 1/2 Dman. Plus he has only two years left until UFA, all factors that help determine his value.

I think most Duck fans are very reasonable on how they value Fowler. I also would hope if his price was this low Holland would've already had him in a Wings jersey.

Spooner makes almost too much sense. Tatar does not, as Detroit can't take on any cap. I don't know why people have agreed on that swap, as the reason why Fowler would ever be shipped out would be to clear space for Lindholm and Rakell.

The same dman that played above his level in that sweep right?

 

[Hunter368]

good thing jets fans opinions dont matter lmao

No more or less then any fans opinion

Care to explain how a team who forces a 3/4 dman to play as their #1 leads the entire NHL in Goals Against? Also, if you or any GM, values Cam as low/incorrectly as you do - then why even waste your time considering what that return would be? As there is zero chance a team who values Cam as a 3/4 Dman would pony up the necessary assets to trade for him, as the ducks clearly value him much higher than that..

Fowler is a lot closer in value to Connor, Ehlers, Laine, and Wheeler than those guys

He isn't a #1, he is a complimentary top pairing dmen with the right partner, guy who can fill that top rOle if needed, also on a pretty nice contract for what you get out of him.

Imo he is a great 2/3 guy, it is pretty funny how lindholm gets called overated, Fowler is over rated, our goalies were average at best and Kesler is on his decline... yet we still manage the lowest gaa last season... it's like magic down in Anaheim.

All that Disneyland magic man!

Oh brother.....huge overpayment

Reading is hard he said closer to those guys implying ducks would add.

Prolly that other overrated bum Lindholm

Not really. He's nowhere near the value of those guys.

Even if we accept any of that as true, no piece in the OP is close to worth a 24 year old #3 defensman.

 

[MMC]

You think a top pairing defenseman is closer in value to bottom 6ers and B prospects than top 6 wingers and A prospects?

He's 2/3, he's much better piece then the ones listed in original thread not as good a piece as ones listed later... def not worth an ehlers or Laine... I think Connors or wheeler could be starter points if jets were in dire need of a defender

 

[Kalv]

Sure, would Thorburn + 4th for Fowler would be enough for the Jets to do it?


haha
