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

[McDrai]

its hilarious to me that people think McDavid’s seal of approval means a damn thing. Just because he’s a god tier player doesn’t mean he knows shit about who is good.

Well Yzerman was a great player who has a knack for identifying talent. Who is to say Connor doesn't have the same ability?

I’m stoked for this trade. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Foegele flanks Mcdavid and Hyman on the top line. Puju second line and Yamo third line.

Foegele Mcdavid Hyman
Nuge Drai Puju
Benson McLeod Yamo (sheltered mins)
Archi Ryan Kassian

I wonder if we see a combination like that rather than the expected combo everyone has posted

A lot of tenacious hard work goals. We need this.

Alot to like from this video.

Seems to know how to get open, and likes to muck it up in front of the net

Nice!

liking this acquisition already

 

[GMofOilers]

Holland is pretty good stealing Foegele away while only giving up a over paid, slowest skating, under sized dmen.

Such a great day.

Ceci has had what, one good year?

2 decent ones in ottawa when the team was good

Ceci has had what, one good year?

I think his Toronto year was trending well also. He's almost reinvented himself more defensively which is interesting.

Not sure if he can do it with Keith on the second pair though.

 

[Jet Walters]

He was skating and training with McDavid in Ontario when the deal went down and he drives a pickup truck. That’s good enough for me.

I loved watching his highlites. God this guy is tenacious. He is like Yammo times 2 and bigger

Wow, don't bother to read much of the Canes thread, especially a few jerks on there talkin bout how bad Alberta is. my lord. From the deep south these comments..

I just dialed in there to see some of the comments and I saw some jerks instead. Not much has changed on the Carolina board.

Lots of issues in the US these days, misery wants company. Personally I like the trade, Foegele seems like a hard working talented player we use , unlike Turris for example

After watching that I am reminded of one Pat Maroon. Anybody else see the similarities in knowing where to be at the right time?

What do you think of the trade?
Or Foegele in general?

 

[CravenMH]

I think this was a good trade. I don't see as much future with Bear as many of you do. I suspect he'll be a serviceable bottom pairing type and end up having a short career. Just my thoughts. Foegele looks like a gritty, drive the net kinda guy and we sorely miss that. Good trade.

Sad to see Bear go, will miss him. Thanks for the memories!

I do think it's a fair trade though, and Foegele will be a welcome addition to the forward corps.

 

[North Cole]

New Pisani? We just need him to turn on like 06 playoff Fern and be set.

As a rookie, Foegele put up some solid numbers with 5 goals and in 15 playoff games in the playoffs so I think he has it in him to be a solid playoff contributor.

Such a great day.

A D who made, outside of playoffs, very few defensive gaffes. Bear is better in his own zone than any of the 3 players we have in the right side this year.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Foegele is a solid and reliable 200 ft bottom 6 power forward, a needed ingredient to evolve this team. Like Hyman, we're going to love his style of play, and he improves our secondary scoring discrepancy

But ngl, I am torn that it was Ethan Bear that got traded. Don't need to find reasons to hate his game or just dismiss him and say 'oh there's no room anyway'. In the 19-20 season, he was the hottest topic in this city, maybe even our best defenseman and added a unique element to the defense core we all found refreshing. He did struggle this season, but he was only 23, had to deal with an injury and it was a weird season due to the covid protocols, which maybe could've affected him more than others. Those protocols are seemingly gone, and the regular NHL schedule to going to resume this year.

I think he's going to play with a chip on his shoulder and be a solid top 4 defenseman for Carolina. Really going to miss screaming his last name. It'll be funny to see him participate in those Carolina post-game shows

But now, after grieving, gonna sleep it off, wake up refreshed, put Bear behind us and then salivate over the new acquisitions with eagerness to see the product on ice

Welcome William

I think we're gonna regret giving up on Bear so early. Hopefully Foegele signs a reasonable contract for 2-3 years and continues to put up ~35 points in the bottom 6.

Bear is good, one turnover in the playoffs doesn't change that. Just because we have Bouchard coming up doesn't mean there isn't room for Bear. We spent decade having no depth, and yet we're always rushing to trade away young players as soon as it may appear that they're "expendable".

Reminds me of trading Hall and Eberle because we had an overabundance of wingers.

At least Foegele is a good player, but imo if we're comparing the RHD vs winger (like Hall/Larsson), then we overpaid again.

 

[Mr Sakich]

Hes playing in the states now so people will just think he’s Mexican. I don’t think ADA has the mental capacity to tell the difference between Aboriginals and Mexicans anyway.

my wife is West Indian heritage but raised in Canada and gets the same treatment. When we travel to southern USA, people are always speaking Spanish to her and are very surprised when she says in perfect no accent English - "I don't speak Spanish"
