The Fowler waste looks even WORSE than I thought

[Bacchk29]

I told most of you fools what a stupid move it was to waste future assets on Fowler. Ever since that 1000th game ceremony
he has been terrible, and he hasn't prevented the Blues from falling hopelessly out of the playoff picture.

So tell me, do you regret it now? Army should.

There is no regret for that trade at all.

Would you rather be sending out Kessel or Perunovich for the amount of minutes that Fowler has logged since getting here. I know I wouldn't, and to my knowledge Fowler has put up a decent amount of goals and points since getting here as well.

Fowler is signed also through next season on a decent contract with what the Ducks are picking up.

Unless Army flips him at the deadline to get his pick back plus, it’s a waste of assets

[a smell of green grass]

Fowler was the PERFECT pick-up by Army. He ensures that the Blues play competitively this year, and the fans got to see a 1000-game ceremony. Plus, he ensures that the Blues don't pick anywhere near the top of the draft.

The goal of the Blues organization is to keep costs and risks down, while "making the playoffs".

Army will get EVERYTHING he wants if the Blues make the playoffs. If they get blown out and embarrassed in the playoffs, that is shooting PAR for him. The Blues fans are fine with that--as their history shows.

Generally agree. Fowler made them respectable at least. Without him the LHD was barely NHL caliber.

Army lies and mismanages. This board laps it up like little puppies. They are truth-averse.

You are an idiot. Fit right in here! lol

If the OP were serious about valuing futures, and not just trying to be a miserable troll, they'd understand that Fowler is worth way more than what Army paid. That means if the Blues decide they're not a playoff team this year, they can sell him for more precious futures than they paid.

Army saw Anaheim in a pickle and took full advantage, paying pennies on the dollar. If Army puts Fowler on the market this deadline, a first isn't out of the question - which defender rumored to be on the market would you rather add as a contender? Provorov?

You def are the new form nut-hugger. Predictable, sanctimonious and dumb as rocks.

Fowler was a mistake. Not that he doesn't make the Blues better because he does. He just wasn't going to get us into the playoffs. So we've given up a decent future asset but more importantly stops us from getting better talent in this year's draft and a lighting bolt of a chance of a top 3 pick.

Ownership needs to get serious about rebuilding
This middle road is the path to longer term pain than accepting a couple years of top 10 picks.

We gave up no legitimate prospect in the trade.
The 2nd rounder is a loss.

He prefers to lie and mismanage. It’s clear.

What decent future asset?
We didn’t give up a top prospect or a first. A second is a 50/50 prop at best, and even if it worked out, how long before that guy is even here?

So you speak for fans? Shut up now.

That was ironically hilarious.

You can all but be certain Army will get the 2nd rounder back. Jesus Christ the pearl clutching.

That might be relevant in 6 years. Yay!
