6 Trade Landing Spots for Ducks Defenseman Cam Fowler amid NHL Rumors

Rumor season in the NHL never truly ends. As training camps open this week, we've already got a juicy name making the rounds, with buzz surrounding Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler picking up.

He has spent 14 seasons with the Ducks and is 26 games shy of 1,000 played. Born in Windsor, Ontario, but raised in Detroit, he's been a high-class puck-mover for Anaheim as well as a steady point-producer, amassing 96 goals and 453 points in his career.

But the Ducks are in the throes of a rebuild that's kept them at or near the bottom of the NHL in three of the past four years. They've got younger puck-movers and scorers on the blue line ready to take on the bulk of the minutes, and at 32 years old, Fowler is no longer the main guy. With two years remaining on his contract, the time to trade him is at hand.

Fortunately for Anaheim, veteran defensemen who can generate points and scoring chances are in demand. Perhaps unfortunately for some of those teams, Fowler has a four-team no-trade clause.

So where could Fowler be headed? We've picked out six situations that have been talked about or just make sense. Let us know your thoughts in the comments and if your team should be included (or excluded) from the discussion.
