They’ll have to. It’s a dump
There was an NHL insider on TSN1260 recently who opined otherwise.
We'll see, but every team wants more of what Foegele brings: size, speed, physicality and chance creation.*
* if we look at the top 384 forwards by 5v5 TOI last season (32 teams x 12), we'll see that Foegele is
- 113th for iCF/60 (in the range of Lindholm & Iafallo)
- 129th for ixG/60 (in the range of Crosby & Debrincat)
- 139th for iSCF/60 (right behind Palat)
- 145th for iHDCF/60 (tied with Connor)
- 60th for Rush Attempts/60 (tied with Hall)
- 35th for takeaways/60 (just ahead of Zibanejad)
He's a very good 3rd line player and decent value at $2.75M.
