Confirmed with Link: Ethan Bear traded to Carolina for Warren Foegele

[AddyTheWrath]

Looks like Foegele needs a new contract? Hopefully we can get him locked up long term.

 

[Llamamoto]

Everyone I've talked to mentioned he has hands of stone and has tons of issues finishing

Yeah nvm, he's kind of like Puljujarvi in the sense that he has a good shot but lacks finishing ability.

I had a convo with a Canes fan some time ago about Foegele, he mentioned that on the Canes board they could see him becoming a top-6 winger if "he could learn to finish and if his IQ was as quick as his skating".

 

[The Safe Play]

I like Foegele too but you usually don't want to trade a cost controlled 2RD for a third liner. Hopefully Foegele explodes for more offence.

 

[MessierII]

Our D is just getting older, more expensive and not much better.

 

[XXIV97]

don't like it

 

[Jumptheshark]

I am really concerned about our D

Jones, Bear and Larson gone.

And we have the same G

Good thing he’s only a 3RD then

 

[Zerotonine]

Bear was horrible last year. I dont see what all the hype has been about at all

 

[Ctrain2k]

I actually like this trade a lot, lots of flexibility Hyman can play RW too which means we could play Foegele in the top 6 and put Yamamoto/Puljujarvi on the 3rd line.

 

[Da McBomb]

I love that this opens the door for Bouchard. Love it. It's time.

Wish Ethan all the best in Carolina. He is gonna be a solid player.

 

[LTIR]

Best of luck to Bear and hope he rebounds.
Foegele will be better than Hyman..book it! Both play similar game, Hyman just got prime offensive mins in TOR and Foegele hurried in depth got none in CAR

 

[Louis Cypher]

Foegle - Getzlaf- Kassian would be a great 3rd line

 

[McJadeddog]

Give up a guy who is cheap and likely fits long term on the team at a very hard position to fill (right defence) for a plug and play third line winger who can't score? Makes no sense at all

If foegele out plays hyman that’s a steal for Edmonton

 

[Louis Cypher]

This one is going to look really ugly in 2-3 years

I think for Carolina.

 

[OilersCoffeeArtBeer]

For those who don't know much about this new winger. Hes Radek Dvorak 2.0
Fast, gritty and good defensively.

 

[McJadeddog]

This one is going to look really ugly in 2-3 years

Yup, we'll look back at this trade and regret it. Maybe even starting this year, but for sure in a couple years

 

[Snipes45]

We are going to need firefighter crews down by the high level bridge.

 

[The Safe Play]

Good thing he’s only a 3RD then

I think he's slotted in 2RD for Carolina also, will be interesting to see how it works out there.

 

[OldManBouchard]

Hockey trade and I don't mind it given our bottom 6 needs. If we can somehow land a solid 3C that forward group is looking pretty deadly. Defence and Goalies on the other hand. Ugh.

 

[Cloned]

I… don’t hate it. Foegele is decent.

 

[McBigYak]

I love it how people here all of a sudden know the skill level of a bottom 6 player in a hockey market nobody pays attention to.

Just admit it, you have zero f***ing idea how good or bad Foegele is.

 

[McOilers97]

I’m not gonna say that Bear will never figure it out in the NHL, but I don’t see him as a high ceiling player. And we have young D on the way that are far more talented than him. Bouchard this season will be a fixture in our main 6, and he has tools that Bear will never have.

I don’t know much about Foegele, but addressing the weakest part of the roster (bottom 6) was crucial, and I hope there are still 3C and goalie moves coming.

 

[Oilhawks]

Oh yeah, obligatory McLovin’ gif:

Welcome to the Oilers, Foegele!

I see Martinook staying in CAR. 1.8milx3
