Speculation: Fowler for Nichushkin

[Akhurite]

Now that Dallas has acquired a replacement in Hudler, I could really see this happening.

Really works for both teams, Nuke gets a new home where can hopefully thrive.

Anaheim finally clears up that cap and Dallas fills a much needed hole in their line up.

I feel like Dallas would have to add slightly, what do you guys think of this as a base?

Dallas would need to add a good amount.

 

[dracom]

Doesn't really work for the Ducks. Nuke is a RW first of all, we need LWs. He's another unsigned RFA that we would need to re-sign. He's also Russian and Murray hates Russians.This deal helps Dallas way more than it helps the Ducks.

 

[joestevens29]

Only way this is good for ANA is if Fowler plans on retiring in the next few days.

 

[dechire]

I don't think it would work simply because the cost for Fowler is higher than Dallas' need for him. Nothing against Fowler who would be a great add for many teams but he's more of what Dallas already has instead of filling a true need on D

 

[THall4]

Wondering if the Stars signing Hudler gives this rumour some merit?

 

[smirob]

Fowler is worth much more imo.

We need both, but I'm really not a fan of dealing Fowler for a package centered around Nuke.

Think it gives the Nichuskin to Russia more merit.

 

[CupofOil]

Nichushkin doesn't have anywhere close to that amount of value, one of the most overrated prospects of the last several years which is saying a lot. Does he have much more value than Yak at this point? Maybe Despres for Nichushkin.

 

[mytduxfan*]

Nukes a flight risk. EZ pass. Not even close actually.

 

[UnicornONtheCOBB]

seems like a solid deal for both teams. Fowler is 2 years away from being a UFA, and that does help even up the value. Dallas probably needs to add a pick or prospect, but I still think the deal could work out for both teams.

Nope. Nuke is likely heading to Russia soon. Regardless, Fowler is a top pairing D-man. Nuke doesn't have that kind of value no matter how you spin it. The whole "Fowler is a UFA is 2 years, so that devalues him" logic is totally backward. If you don't think you can re-sign Fowler in 2 years, then don't trade for him. Simple as, mate.

 

[Avs44]

I don't see how Nickushkin remotely commands a youngish top four defensman. Fowler has two years to UFA which might lower his value slightly, as compared to if he were signed for 4-5 years at his current cap hit, but to the point of a struggling young player who has dissapointed thus far? 100% of the risk would be on Anaheim's end here. It would be a terrible swap for them.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

Dallas would need to add.

Nichuskin is a RW. Anaheim needs LW.

Career up to age 20:
Yakupov:
192 games played
88 points (0.458 ppg)

Nichushkin:
166 games played
64 points (0.386 ppg)

______________________________________________

3rd NHL season (20yrs old)
Yakupov:
81 games
33 points (0.407 ppg)

Nuke:
79 games
29 points (0.367 ppg)

______________________________________________

HF logic:
Yakupov is worth 70th overall
Nuke is worth Fowler

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Anaheim needs a better player coming back then Nuke for Fowler, Besides Nuke is a RW and Anaheim needs a LW. Don't see a deal happening here.

Same here. I have nothing against Nich or the Stars, but he's never done anything at all to imply he's valuable enough to be the centerpiece in a trade for Fowler.

I've just never seen the hype with this guy. There's no results to really support it.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Anaheim gets hosed in this deal.

Nonsense. All Vancouver fans are terrible and speak with a single voice, my team's fanbase is varied and brilliant.

This logic is indisputable.

Nuke was drafted high but his value has dropped.

 

[Magic Mittens]

I'd rather Despres than Fowler, nothing against Fowler, but Despres fills more of a need and wouldn't cost as much, still more then Nichushkin

 

[Shootertooter]

Nuke is not close in value to Fowler.

I think the noteworthy HF logic at play here is that 8 games = an NHL season to you
