Thread: (EDM/CAR) - Bear for Foegele
I think this is a good deal for both teams. I'm never concerned about 'who won the deal'. Only time will tell and some players fit better in certain situations regardless of the skill involved.

I think Bear is a good young Dman with some good offensive upside. My main concern with him was his lack of size/strength. He constantly lost battles, both in the corners and in front of his net. His other issue is he tries to force the play/pass which led to some very costly turnovers. In time hopefully he'll grows into his game and won't force things. Wish him all the best because he seems like a good kid.

Foegele adds some much needed size to the forward group. From what I've read, he's a solid hustle guy that will score the odd goal. The oilers 3rd line has been the teams weakness for what seems like forever now. Hopefully he can help.

Thread: Two rumours
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GrinReaper</b></div><div>Don’t by any of the noise that Barrie signs instead of Larsson
If Ullmark is signed for 4 yrs, Smiths not getting 2 yrs, word is it’s a 1 yr deal or nothing for Smith your not signing a 39 yr old goalie for 2 yrs when there’s plenty of UFA options
Plus you see all the young goalies left unprotected, Seattle’s going select them all then flip 2 of them for assets/roster players there’s a deal to be made for Edmonton maybe Bear back to where he played jr</div></div>

I think there's definitely a deal to be made with Seattle. The thing that worries me is that they are in the same division and might be hesitant to help the oilers out. I could see either Bear or Yamamoto being moved as they have ties to Seattle.

I think ulmark stays in Buffalo.
