Fowler vs Vatanen
Fowler seems to be disappearing off the radar due to a down year last year. Anyone else think there is a chance he bounces back this year and even possibly surpasses Vatanen for power play time/production?
Is the GAP between these two players as big as it seems on yahoo's overall ranks? Fowler is ranked 203 overall on yahoo and Vatanen is ranked 109.

Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
Vatanen and Lindholm will be there once the dust settles.
Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
fantasy wise vatanen will always win in pts and fowler doesnt give any peripherals for multicat which is a must for dmen. Fowler needs to shoot more to get those rebound assists.
Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
Vatanen is the most naturally offensively gifted of the ANA D. He won't be their overall #1 but he will likely own that PP1 slot.
Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
They already share PP1 duties so I don't think he passes Vatanen for PP duties, even though Vatanen has more TOI on the PP.
The main reason for the gap is probably the peripherals that Vatanen brings that Fowler lacks (hits, blocks, PIMs, SOG). Straight up, Vatanen is the best fantasy Dman on Anaheim.

Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
I agree here... who would you target 2nd from the Ducks? Lindholm or Fowler?Originally Posted by Axeman33
Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
I would say they are pretty close but it would really depend on the categories in the league setup. Some Fowler exceed in and some Lindholm exceeds in.

Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
I have watched a lot of Anaheim games over the last few years and Fowler has never really impressed me. I like Vatanen and Lindholm over Fowler and actually think Anaheim will trade Fowler before his current contract is up as he is a redundant piece for them..

Re: Fowler vs Vatanen
I agree with pretty much everything that's been said, but just wanted to add in that, value-wise, Fowler is better than the other guys. Vatanen is likely being drafted higher than he deserves in most cases, while Fowler is all but an after-thought. You could snag him very late in your draft and get nice assist and PP numbers (with some blocks) if he has a bit of a rebound year. Meanwhile you won't have to reach to be sure you get Vatanen.
