Cam Fowler: our analysis
2025-26 season: 82 GP, 4 G, 26 A, 30 PTS, -11 +/-, 21:05 TOI. WAR 0.4 (113th of 325) · PAL 16, very poor.
In 2025-26, Cam Fowler, 34, posts a PAL Rating of 16 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of 0.4 ranks 113th among 325 regulars, in the top half.
His strengths: offense (64, above average). On the other hand, penalty kill (1, among the weakest in the league) and creation (19, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+1.6); his biggest cost: penalty kill (-1.6).
A marked decline: his PAL was 65 in 2024-25, against 16 now; his WAR went from 1.3 to 0.4.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 8 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Cam Fowler's story
Raised just outside Detroit after an early move from Windsor, Cam Fowler came up through American development channels before deciding to play major junior in Canada. He spent two seasons with the US National Team Development Program, then joined the Windsor Spitfires for 2009–10; that campaign yielded a Memorial Cup and the World Junior gold medal with Team USA, moments that helped stamp his reputation as an offensively gifted defenseman.
Taken 12th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Fowler stepped into the NHL immediately and scored his first goal in October 2010. He was part of the rookie class at the 2011 All-Star Game and quickly became a regular on Anaheim's blue line. Contract extensions in 2012 and again in 2017 reflected his role as a top-pairing, power-play quarterback for the club over many seasons.
Fowler's 15-year tenure in Anaheim mixed team playoff runs and personal milestones with injuries and organizational change. He led the Ducks' defense at times, posted career-high offensive totals, and shouldered extra minutes during periods of roster turnover and rebuild. He also took on formal leadership duties as one of the team's alternates and absorbed a larger role after long-time leaders departed.
A mid-December 2024 trade sent Fowler to the St. Louis Blues; he debuted for his new club the same night and quickly joined the top defensive pairing. Internationally he has worn the U.S. jersey throughout his development, earning a U18 world title in 2009—where he was named tournament best defenseman—and a World Junior gold medal in 2010, and he was selected to the U.S. Olympic team in 2014.
On the ice, Fowler is defined by his playmaking from the back end. Scouts and coaches have highlighted his skating, puck control and ability to run the power play; he is more an offensive architect than a purely physical defender.
