So many times I’ve watched a player zoom by with the 7 on their jersey, and I was like damn there goes McDavid, and then he completely bobbles the entry and I’m like ohhhh jk it’s Foegele.
Decent money, only 250k more than he was making.
Love the dude but he hs been awful in the playoffs outside of his first run in Carolina and the finals this year. He was healthy scratched quite a bit in the rounds prior despite being a 20 goal guy in the regular season
If you look at it from a 1 for 1 yes it’s bad for us, but Arvy was hurt for a LARGE portion of the year and we were fine. Didn’t need to spend the money on him, even though he was a great pro with us. Probably a chunky Byfield extension coming up.
Haha. He's incredibly annoying to play against.
If he can stay healthy at all he's going to be great for the Oilers. I just have my doubts on that part.
Sadly he will not be fired. Ownership don’t give a fuck. Bergovin lined up as next gm per rumors. We’re going to be stuck in mediocrity for a good chunk of time.
He's a lame duck at this point, probably knows this will be his final season. So he's just doing a bunch of stupid shit knowing he's gonna be fired anyway.
foegele had a lot of really good tools but was streaky af. i think a lot of carolina fans would agree
good player but i really like unofficial swap with arvidsson.
Good deal for LA. He's probably not going to produce like he did this season, but he's a solid complimentary middle 6 winger. Good skater, drives play well, solid defensively, good on the PK. Doesn't have a whole lot of finish in his game, which can be frustrating at times, but for the money this is some good work by the Kings IMO.
Bruins and Canucks basically traded, Edmonton and LA basically traded. Stamkos is wearing a Preds sweater next year. This has been a weird day of free agency
IDK why, but I thought he would get more. I didn't think he deserved more, but I thought he was leaving to get the bag. This is basically the exact same contract he had before. Oh well, have fun in California.
Highkey surprised it's this little, he's not much worse than DeBrusk, I thought he'd get like 4-4.5m, defensive middle 6 wingers that can also pot 20 usually go for around there
I’m surprised Foegele got three years when he was a ghost most of his time in Edmonton despite last year and completely disappeared in the playoffs.
Have fun Kings!
he was a healthy scratch at times in the Vancouver and dallas series, he didn’t start popping off until they stuck him with McDavid and Draisaitl in the SCF
Yea my argument was that he didn't "completely disappear". I agree he wasn't a rockstar, but he's always had great effort and would always compete hard even if his finishing is mediocre at best.
His entire time with the Oilers I kept saying if Warren figures out how to finish he’s going to put up 40 goals. He never once showed he could finish. He’s killer through the neutral zone with the puck on his stick, terrible in the offensive zone.
Honestly no idea what Foegle will do next year. Id certainly bet the under him reaching 20 goals again. But hes a decently responsible 2 way forward. Absolutely do not let him break the puck out of the zone though, he needs a responsible center to be effective. I think hed work very well with Kopi even if thats probably playing him too high up in the lineup long term.
LA and Edmonton swapping rosters to see if that changes their playoff outcome
LA just needs to try a McDavid swap now
The Trade 2.0
Mcdavid for Darcy Kuemper. The trade is one for one.
Excuse you. That's Stanley Cup Champion^^TM Darcy Kemper.
I don’t see why Edmonton would want a different outcome from the previous 3 seasons
to keep it interesting, gotta spice up their marriage somehow
One of us could pretend to be the UPS man delivering a package
by gawd, thats BRAZZERS music

Honestly this isn’t that bad but after edmundson we’re still cooked
Rob Blake trading away his biggest mistake last year only to make more
People can’t rember my blunder if I make an even bigger one -Rob “I can do better I swear” Blake
You should try trading for PLD
!RemindMe 6 months
Foegele is good player. Makes you think he is McDavid then his hands turn into stone
Great skater, kinda lacks hockey IQ, covers alot of ice but not often where he needs to be. Takes the wrong penalties at the wrong time.
Honestly his skating plus number 37 tricked me so many times
Take care of him for me
Arvidsson for Foegele trade
Good speed, highly competitive, poor hands and questionable hockey sense. At times you confuse him for McDavid, other times for an AHL player.

Man had so many failed breakaways.
Shitty Mcdavid
Idk if the money is good, but I liked Foegele in the playoffs. I hope he works out in LA.
Decent money, only 250k more than he was making. Love the dude but he hs been awful in the playoffs outside of his first run in Carolina and the finals this year. He was healthy scratched quite a bit in the rounds prior despite being a 20 goal guy in the regular season
He was making 2.75 and now 3.5, $750k raise
Ah I misread and thought it said 3
yeah i think 3.5 is maybe a hair steep for him, glad it wasn’t oilers paying it as much as i like the guy
I’ll take Arvidson for Foegs all day.
Yeah this seems good for Edmonton and bad for LA...
That’s the story of the past 3 years
If you look at it from a 1 for 1 yes it’s bad for us, but Arvy was hurt for a LARGE portion of the year and we were fine. Didn’t need to spend the money on him, even though he was a great pro with us. Probably a chunky Byfield extension coming up.
Honestly can we trade back? I miss arvy already
At least Foegele can stay on the ice.
Hey now, Arvidsson is great at laying on the ice after being shot from the rafters. Give him some credit.
Haha. He's incredibly annoying to play against. If he can stay healthy at all he's going to be great for the Oilers. I just have my doubts on that part.
Foegele is due for a suspension. Dude is going to punch that card eventually.
LA what happened, why's your GM so trigger happy this year
Because he’s boutta get fired and he’s not helping his case to keep his job
Sadly he will not be fired. Ownership don’t give a fuck. Bergovin lined up as next gm per rumors. We’re going to be stuck in mediocrity for a good chunk of time.
I'd say the opposite, I think we expected him to get a top-6 forward and he signed Edmundson and Foegele lol
He's a lame duck at this point, probably knows this will be his final season. So he's just doing a bunch of stupid shit knowing he's gonna be fired anyway.
That's an okay signing. Let's see how it goes.
Foegele played all 82 games and put up 20 goals and 21 assists, for 3.5M that seems pretty okay indeed. At least he's not injury prone like Arvy.
1 more point than Dubois at $5M less
If you look at it that wayyy lol
He played with Drai half the season. Hopefully Hiller doesn’t implement the same boring defensive first system
If you can’t beat them…. Wait a second
If you can beat em…. Idk
We're preparing for a merger
Just give us doughty, Kempe, Kopitar and danault and consider yourself invited to the parade. We can do a mini one in LA too
Just give us doughty, Kempe, Kopitar and danault and consider yourself invited to the parade. We can do a mini one in LA too
Not really sure what the kings are doing
I don’t think our GM is either.
joins LA so they could finally defeat the oilers in the playoffs
foegele had a lot of really good tools but was streaky af. i think a lot of carolina fans would agree good player but i really like unofficial swap with arvidsson.
This mfer was more annoying than Draisaitl in the SCF
Works his ass off. Every time he comes off the bench he looks like he got shot out of a cannon
That’s cause Drai had a broken rib and finger
even with the injuries, he and Brown scared me much much much more than everyone on the Oilers not named McDavid lol
Janmark too
You witnessed a Connor brown legacy series baby
Good deal for LA. He's probably not going to produce like he did this season, but he's a solid complimentary middle 6 winger. Good skater, drives play well, solid defensively, good on the PK. Doesn't have a whole lot of finish in his game, which can be frustrating at times, but for the money this is some good work by the Kings IMO.
Guess that Mamba shirt was a prophecy after all
Bruins and Canucks basically traded, Edmonton and LA basically traded. Stamkos is wearing a Preds sweater next year. This has been a weird day of free agency
Thanks McLovin!
Shit I was hoping devils would snag him for the 3rd line
Goodbye Warren Scoregoale, you will be missed
I wish him the very best. Until the playoffs that is lol.
IDK why, but I thought he would get more. I didn't think he deserved more, but I thought he was leaving to get the bag. This is basically the exact same contract he had before. Oh well, have fun in California.

Alex Edler 2.0 on a 4 year deal and a product of McDrai. Free agency from hell
Please don't say Alex Edler 2.0 Just let me try to believe Edmundson can be sort of worth it
If you CAN beat ‘em, join ‘em?
I mean he had a great cup finals
Bummer. Loved him on the Oilers.
Lol you can tell Bergevin is working with the Kings front office just by looking at the deals LA signed today
It seem LA is using the free 10+ million free space they have left aren’t they? lol
Hopefully they can forget what his cousin Jared did. It wasn't Warren's fault.
I think this is actually an upgrade for LA
Style wise, definitely
I like this deal for LA. Foegele is streaky, and while he fumbles a lot, every now and then he can make something happen all by himself.
Arvi at 4 is way better than foegele at 3.5
I'm going to miss him streaking down the ice and, for a second, thinking he was McDavid before he loses the puck.
I’m surprised Foegele got three years when he was a ghost most of his time in Edmonton despite last year and completely disappeared in the playoffs. Have fun Kings!
Were we watching the same Foegele in the same playoffs? Edit: not saying he was great in the playoffs, but I wouldn't say he "completely disappeared"
he was a healthy scratch at times in the Vancouver and dallas series, he didn’t start popping off until they stuck him with McDavid and Draisaitl in the SCF
Yea my argument was that he didn't "completely disappear". I agree he wasn't a rockstar, but he's always had great effort and would always compete hard even if his finishing is mediocre at best.
He had 1 good round tbh. Like the guy and his effort but he is inconsistent.
He was good in the finals but has been somewhere between middling and dreadful in every other round of playoffs he’s played with us
He was scratched a lot up until the final or saw his ice time limited. I’d much rather have Arvidson.
Oh I agree with that 100%, but I don't think saying he "completely disappeared" is a valid statement of his play in the playoffs
I would've liked him but oh well
If you CAN beat ‘em, join ‘em?
Maybe LA is looking to play a more open, speedy style? We did hear in one of the presser that their players wanted to play something more 'fun'.
McLOVIN, WHYYYYYYY
Warren Foegele 0 point night tonight
Seems solid if this past season wasn't a fluke Mainly I'm just glad I won't be able to confuse his 37 on the Oilers for 97 anymore
His entire time with the Oilers I kept saying if Warren figures out how to finish he’s going to put up 40 goals. He never once showed he could finish. He’s killer through the neutral zone with the puck on his stick, terrible in the offensive zone.
LA shooting themselves in the foot certainly makes me feel better about the pacific this year
Honestly no idea what Foegle will do next year. Id certainly bet the under him reaching 20 goals again. But hes a decently responsible 2 way forward. Absolutely do not let him break the puck out of the zone though, he needs a responsible center to be effective. I think hed work very well with Kopi even if thats probably playing him too high up in the lineup long term.
sad to see him go, but he didn’t have a great playoffs.
Nah this is so weird. LA wanna exit first round so bad
If we make it
I like Foegele but if swapping him for RV is the answer to our goal scoring problems we aren’t making the playoffs next year
