What's your assessment of Cam Fowler?

[MrSnrub]

I remember when he was drafted and everyone was shocked that he dropped so far. 6 years later, how do you think he's panned out, what's his ceiling going forward, and just why do you think he dropped in the draft?

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

He interviewed bad from what I remember.

I think he could be a better MA Bergeron, which is no insult.

Considering the player he already is today that's a very big insult

 

[Claypool]

Needs to keep doing what he's doing this season for the next ten years.

 

[Arthuros]

I think he just likes Carlyle.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

He's elevated his game to a new level.

 

[Machinehead]

He's a nice guy and good with kids.

 

[Unholy]

Oh god close it up quick.

Can't believe so many fans wanted to trade him over Vats.

Was this intended to be hilarious?

Personally a big fan.

Skating is brilliant and he can move the puck. That is enough to be an effective D in todays league.

Add to that, his offensive game (shot especially) is progressing really well and he has a good mind for the game.

Good #2, Excellent #3 IMO.

This year? Oilers must have all #4-#6 D men in your rankings then.

Fantastic all around skater. Extremely poised with the puck on his stick in the defensive zone. Helps out the powerplay. His shot is much improved over the years, and this year he has taken another step in that department.

He's weak in front of his own goal and his game without the puck in the defensive zone is average, or even a tad below. He is a two way-defenseman in terms of style, but he's defenitely better offensively than defensively (again, without the puck).

Contrary from the impression I might have given in other threads lately, I don't think he's a #1 defenseman. I think he's more of a #2 assuming that we are trying to build a strong contender here. In weaker years, probably more of a #3 or #4 (or #2 on a non-playoff team).

I take it you think Fowler is a #1... I really like Cam, but I don't see it.

 

[Machinehead]

The Oilers have actually been excellent defensively as a unit this year.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Anybody who can skate like Fowler is bound to have a long and pretty successful NHL career.

 

[liquiduck]

I take it you think Fowler is a #1... I really like Cam, but I don't see it.

I wouldn't say he's a number one either, but he's a great #2.

He's no Dylan mcllrath tho.

Edit : ^ beat me to it lol

 

[Amadeus]

He's one of the best skating D-men in the league.

I'm a fan.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Fowler is a underrated defenseman that gets trashed a lot because they don't like his advanced stats and ignore the situation he has been in being used more as a shutdown defenseman while having to carry 3rd pair quality defense partners a lot before.

He interviewed bad from what I remember.

I think he could be a better MA Bergeron, which is no insult.

Fowler is already a better overall defenseman then Marc-Andre Bergeron was.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

He has bad advanced stats therefore he isn't that good - HF

You know why? Vegas wouldn't even take Girardi.

Fowler-Girardi gonna run the top pair in LV. It'll be beautiful.

[SladeWilson23]

He's an excellent hockey player whose analytic stats are misleading.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Excellent hockey player. He's no Jack Campbell/Dylan McIlrath though.

 

[Boo Boo]

Ducks best dman this season and I think he ends up the best overall even if that might not be in anaheim
