I am not knowledgeable on Fowler as last I thought he was a very good D man. If he still is, and it is largely the system put in place by the awful Randy Carlyle, then he is the type of guy that would make sense.

He is a fast skating puck pushing D man who just turned 27 and has 7 years left after this year, meaning he is 34 when the contract ends.

So given our youth the time left on his deal covers when we hopefully have an emergence of some real good players, and possibly are contenders. Adding him would also allow us to move Petry in a year or two as his contract ends in 2021.

So in.my view, it makes a lot more sense to pay more and get Fowler, than pay anything to get Muzzin, simply because of when we may have a real top team.
paying more for an injury prone dman with 7y left. nty

no , bad idea keep retooling while being competitive.
only make a move if we can find a young lhd to play top pair
build around lockout and expansion draft

Could be a bad idea to sit back and do nothing while our vets get older and contracts expire too.

We could very well look back 5 years from now and have regrets. Not saying we should trade our top prospects but if there is a deal we can do to improve our team now, we should consider it IMO. Guys like Juulsen, Fleury, Ikonen, Lindgren and the 2nds could be spared without involving the top guys

Calculated risks. Works both ways
