Cam Fowler Autograph Card

What's old is new again for the Anaheim Ducks now that Randy Carlyle is back as head coach...

He claims he will be more patient with younger players, which much come as a relief for Cam Fowler, who was often in his doghouse in his rookie year in 2010-11.

The Ducks were one head coach away from a deep run this season... I'm just not certain that coach was Carlyle. We'll see.

Here's a bust shot of Fowler on card #A-CF from Upper Deck's 2012-13 Artifacts set and Autofacts sub-set, which has a blue-sharpied on-sticker autograph:

Fowler's a big part of a young, strong and balanced defense in Anaheim, with the likes of Hampus Lindholm, Sami Vatanen, Shea Theodore and Nick Ritchie. There may not be a clear "future Norris winner" in the lot, but all five definitely have top-2 material potential.
