Sounds like he has some nastiness as well. With these levels to his game, we can be sure he`ll be useful (weather in Anaheim or SD)Maybe he becomes a 3rd pair guy and PP specialist.

Yes but he’s already 23 and hasn’t made his mark on the NHL level or impressed management. I like him but it seems that the Ducks are replacing him with Djoos and Curran
We need higher energy guys for sure. Since cogs , Perry and Kesler have gone. We lack high octane guys ( deslauries the exception )Well, I like 3:55

What if they traded Fowler ? he's the oldest of the teams top paid Dmen.I think Curran can play the right side, but we will see. Right now:
Lindholm-Manson
Fowler-Gudbranson
Djoos-Curran/Hank
Lots of competition for spots, and I just don't see where Larsson fits right now.
If they trade Fowler then we will be a substantially worse team for it.What if they traded Fowler ? he's the oldest of the teams top paid Dmen.
I have a feeling Curran starts out in SD. His contract is big enough to where he will probably clear waivers, whereas Guhle and Larsson may not.

And end up with both Stutzle and Sanderson in the draft.
Yeah, I don't think Lindholm can handle 35+ minutes a night. Trading Fowler only really makes sense if we trade Lindholm as well, and go with a scorched earth style rebuild. I'm not a fan of that route, not to mention Gibson will absolutely check out on us and go play elsewhere. I'm not 100% against trading Fowler, or Lindholm for that matter, if GMBM gets the right offer, as I don't consider anyone outside of Getzlaf (he's earned it) and Gibson (he might win a Vezina) to be untouchable. But it has to be the right offer.
I`d argue that Fowler, Lindholm, Manson and Gudbranson is at least an average top-4. Djoos, Guhle, others we might sign will make for just fine 3d pair.Trading Fowler turns our D from being below average to a disaster. Especially when Lindholm inevitably gets injured.
Yeah, Fowler was on his way to having his best season, then all the hell broke lose. Trading Fowler would make this team even worse on D, and you need to solidify your back line and grow as a team not blow it up and then hope something sticks. I feel the kids would be able to produce more, with a better PP and stronger D behind them, can take more risks.
Looking back at this season, how long did we have a fully healthy D, or only one Top 4D missing, fairly healthy? Not very long, maybe like 10 games , even if that?
If there was any sort of bidding war for curran, and him getting two years and a one way deal would say to me that more than we were interested, then I doubt they would expose him without him playing in some NHL games first.I have a feeling Curran starts out in SD. His contract is big enough to where he will probably clear waivers, whereas Guhle and Larsson may not.
