Which would you prefer. Both Fowler and Trouba shoot lefty but it;s reported Trouba want to play RD. For myself I vote "other" but would be satisfied with Fowler.

Trouba is a RH shot... hence him wanting to play the right side.
I want Fowler, likely cheaper and wouldnt have to give up Pasta.
I agree. For me, it's about having talent for the future on the right side (Colin, McAvoy, Carlo) and less on the left side. Trouba is probably the better player, but the cost at this point is prohibitive.
I think I would consider Shattenkirk first again based on cost.
To me its basically wanting to trade Spooner for Fowler over Pasta+ for Trouba. The RH side has our two best D prospects on it already and I don't want to pay a prohibitive price.
I'd also do Spooner for Shattenkirk but I doubt thats an option.

Trouba is a Bruins type to me and shoots right
Fowler is a stronger offensive player than defensive but not a seive
Trouba would be my choice but Boston has 2 of their best handful of prospects on that side so unless you think a meteor is hitting earth in the next 12-18 months I would pass
Fowler I've always liked but you have Krug and aren't paying Fowler to be a bottom pair so you ask yourself- with all those kids like Zboril & Lauzon and the others that shoot left and won't cost much for 3-5 years do you go after Fowler
It seems crazy to me that it's not an option (though it probably isn't at this point). St Louis can get a bonafide NHL player in return for Shattenkirk now, and utilize him all season, or hold on to Shattenkirk and get futures for him at the trade deadline. Seems like the STL GM is painting himself into a corner unnecessarily.
To Boston: Fowler
To Anaheim: Vatrano, K. Miller, Bostons 1st 2017
To Boston: Trouba
To Winnipeg: Spooner, Krug, C. Miller
Our D lines:
Fowler - Trouba
Chara - Carlo
Morrow - McQuaid
7th Liles, O'Gara
Choice 1 - Acquire Fowler for the right price (preferably 1st and 2nd rd picks and mid-tier NCAA prospects). Don't sign Ehrhoff, trade McQuaid for whatever you can get.
Choice 2 - Sign Ehrhoff, trade McQuaid for whatever you can get, stand pat and see how it shakes out.
Choice 3 - Overpay to get Trouba, don't sign Ehrhoff unless a young D like Carlo/O'Gara/Colin Miller is going back the other way, trade McQuaid for whatever you can get.
I think Carlo makes 2 a real possibility. 1 if it looks like a good deal. No to 3.
