The Ducks have traded defenseman Cam Fowler to the St. Louis Blues, ending the second-longest tenure in franchise history.
In exchange for Fowler and a 2027 fourth-round draft pick, the Ducks received a 2027 second-rounder and prospect defenseman Jérémie Biakabutuka.
Fowler, 33, played all his 991 career games with the Ducks, entering the league at age 18 after being the 12th overall selection in the 2010 draft. Fowler’s time with the Ducks over parts of 15 seasons included two trips to the conference finals and the only playoff meeting between the Kings and Ducks, a seesaw seven-game series won by the Kings.
Born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, but raised in Michigan, Fowler represented the United States internationally at least six times, including at the 2014 Olympic Games. He has 96 goals, 361 assists and 457 points in his NHL career, ranking fifth in franchise history for both assists and points.
Biakabutuka, 22, has bounced between levels of the minors as a 6-foot-4-inch defenseman who shoots right-handed and is best described as a mobile rearguard. He is the nephew of former University of Michigan and Carolina Panthers running back Tim Biakabutuka.
