I wouldn't be so quick to trade Foegele he has looked good this preseason

Agree.

Also I can't stand Oilers fans nostalgia for has-been role players.

Gagner, 1 year at 750k > Foegele, 2 years at 2.75m

It is quite obvious one of JP, Foegele, and yamamoto needs to get traded. I think Janmark can bring what foegele brings. ken holland always trades for a gagner or derick brassard type player at the deadline anyways.

It's not obvious. Holland has already stated that he's prepared to go into the season with a 21-man roster and use the emergency recall provision should there be a short-term injury.

And the team has tried Gagner twice now, but he doesn't fit the mold of a Holland hire. He likes size and speed, Gagner has neither.

I'm not going to sit here and argue why they need to trade for gagner because I don't really care i just think it would be cool.

My thoughts are that either nuge or holloway likely makes it onto drai's line if holloway makes the oilers. This pushes hyman to RW and 2 of puljujarvi yamo, and foegele are on RW in the top 9.
Puljujarvi refuses to play bottom 6, Yamo belongs at least top 9 and Foegele belongs on 3rd line. it is not justifiable to have any of the 3 on the 4th line at their cap hit.

Foegele is getting traded now, not at the deadline.
