EDM declines that's too much to dump foegele who is only 26 and still has some upside and johnson analytics are so bad 1% ev offense, 48% ev defense, 10% finishing, 6% WAR, I'm not familiar with johnson and haven't watch him play but those numbers scare me, Maybe if you took Barrie instead Edmonton would consider, His PK numbers look pretty alright

I’d send Foegele and a 3rd as a dump and move along.

That’s about the worst argument you can make against a player. The analytics are god people are ruining hockey

is that why Colorado, Tampa, Florida, Maple Leafs and Carolina are running the NHL every year????? Analytics are the future of hockey just accept it. NBA, NFL and even the MLB is getting more and more involved with analytics because Numbers and facts > people's eye test and opinions, last 3 cup champs have been heavy analytical teams and it ain't no coincidence

Edmonton declines?

How can you claim to be an Oiler fan and be utterly ignorant of the cap problem you guys have?

This isn't an effort to bring in a winger for McDavid or Draisaitl -- it's an effort to be cap compliant and exchange a virtually useless third-liner for some cap space.

The whole reason why Foegele hasn't been traded yet is that no one has made Edmonton an offer this good, so that the Oilers can keep Barrie instead of having to find a replacement for him.

I don’t need stat people to tell me what a good hockey player looks like. Ryan Reaves is a good hockey player. Why? Because he brings physical presence to the ice thst few players today can contend with and he is a leader. Analytics don’t mean squat when assessing a player like that.

These people are analytics rules the world people not hockey fans. Because Foegele checks their boxes they want to keep him despite the fact that it would ruin our team because then we’d have to trade a more useful player

If Edmonton did this trade and signed mcleod 1x1.175M (assuming he gets the same deal as yams/JP this would put us at -700K with a 22 man roster from Bouchard's 900k carry over bonus from last season paying a 3rd and 4TH for a player with some upside like foegele would just not be worth it IMO
If i was going to give up 2 high picks i'd give up a 2nd and 3rd to move barrie's contract out instead
Also foegele was not useless he just had bad puck luck all year Foegele-Mcleod-puljujarvi was one of our best line analytically vs the AVS with 62.75 CF%, 76.61xGF%, 73.68 SCF% and 100.00 HDCF(!!!) they couldn't finish (which is important i know) but they hemmed every line they played against in their own zone and really suppressed Colorado's quick transition offense whenever they hit the ice

CF% = Corsi for %,
xGF% = Expected Goals for %
SCF% = 5v5 Scoring chances for %
HDCF% = 5v5 High Danger Chances for %
all of their numbers when all three were together were very elite which is a good thing
