NHL defenceman Cam Fowler during pre-game warm-up at the Coyotes @ Ducks game in Anaheim on November 6, 2013. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau ranked Fowler as the 5th best North American prospect for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in their final update. He had dropped two places, having been ranked at #3, behind Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin, for most of the season. He is described by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau as an offensive quarterback on the powerplay who relies on his skating and puck control. He has been compared to NHL defenceman Chris Pronger and Dion Phaneuf but does not play the same physical style as those two. Despite these accolades, Fowler’s draft night lasted longer than expected as he was drafted at twelfth overall by the Anaheim Ducks. Fowler started the 2010–11 NHL season on the Ducks opening lineup. He scored his first NHL goal on October 17, 2010 against Jason LaBarbera of the Phoenix Coyotes. He was selected to the 2011 NHL All-Star Game as part of the rookie team.
