Player Discussion Cam Fowler

[Anaheim4ever]

I think he could produce even more so, it's within his capabilities. He just isn't an aggressive player.

It seems like it was coached out of him, this team seems to expect all Dmen to be 2way Dmen.

 

[mightyquack]

His next game will be his 700th. He's still not 30 years old.

Can you not? I don't want to think about it already being nearly 11 years since that draft

Hey the other guy we took in the first round with Cam is already retired!

Fowler is on this? Can't be reliable data, he's a pylon.

 

[bsu]

He's not a pylon at all, he's just not great. Same can be said about his offense game.

People were pointing out in another thread that "dump and chase" counts as a turnover in these stats, and that explains why players like Jones rate poorly. If true, the reverse would apply to Fowler. He excels at getting to the puck before the opposition in our D-zone, and each of those times would count as a takeaway.

There is still a ton of value to getting the puck from a dump because the opposition. I love this stat but it really is exactly what cam is best at. If he could only be really good at the other areas of his game.

Jones definitely turns the puck over way too much.

How was Fowler given an 86% rating on the PP in 20-21? Didn’t we score like 3 PP goals all season?

 

[AngelDuck]

He’s been really good this season. I think the consistent presence of Manson really helps him, rather than having to carry around a plug who is terrible defensively

That as well. And he's been good for a good while now, not just this season.

he has had a bit poorer periods, but not any recently IMO.
Also, I believe Drysdale taking away PP time benefits Fowler as well, just because less pressure.

How do you get a 70%? Do you eat the puck or something?

Don't overlook that the system makes different demands on the D this year. They're supposed to pressure and join the rush all the time. He's good at that. When he's forced into a pure defensive role his instincts are just to circle back and turtle all the time, he uses his skating ability as a crutch. But now he can use it an asset.

 

[Ducks in a row]

9 points in 13 games now

 

[Mr Rogers]

Hopefully this is the year he goes beyond 40

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Another goal tonight (PP too!), now 10 in 14. The discussion has been largely dominated by Terry’s breakout—and rightfully so—but Cam quietly has to be playing himself onto the Olympic team as well.

He's been our best defenseman so far this season.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I think he's gonna finish around 45 to 52 points over 82 games.
If Schultz, Gardiner and Theodore can have a year where they score at a 50+ point pace than so can Cam.

He’s awfully streaky though, they’ve always come in bunches for Cam with large dry spells in between. In 16-17 he started the season on fire with 23 pts his first 33 games, pacing for 57 points. I thought that was the year he was finally going to break out and he limped down the stretch, putting up only 16 his last 47 games

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Maybe Drysdale taking his spot on the Pp early in the season lit a fire under his ass?

 

[Kalv]

12 points in 16 games, he is having another great year.

Who is the better player you'd say, Fowler or Lindholm?
