The current version of Fowler at $4M is a great deal for us.
For example, Slava Voynov makes more than Fowler, and he has sucked ass this year, and plays way easier minutes than Cam (Doughty draws all the hard matchups).
Voynov is not a better player than Fowler. He gets paid more because he scored more against easier opposition last year. That's the only reason. He's not as good as he was in the playoffs last year. Ask Kings fans about him Voynov right now...he's been horrible. We're lucky to have Fowler at only $4M for the next 4 years.
What's funny about this comparison is that everyone thought the Voynov contract was a steal...if Voynov is a steal, then how can Fowler's contract even come close to being considered "bad"
