NHL Trade Rumors: Anthony Mantha for Cam Fowler

There are rumors of a big trade brewing between the Detroit Red Wings and the Anaheim Ducks. The Wings are close to dealing Anthony Mantha to the Ducks for Cam Fowler. Helen St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports:

An early afternoon flight Tuesday into New York afforded Wings brass the opportunity to scout defenseman Cam Fowler as Anaheim played that night at New Jersey. At last asking price, however, the Ducks’ demands included Anthony Mantha. 

This trade appears beneficial to both teams. The Red Wings desperately need a top defenseman like Cam Fowler. The Ducks have an abundance of defensemen, and need a young top six forward like Anthony Mantha.
