you arent getting positive value for either of those guys lol. Rebuilding teams take on cap dumps for picks they don't give up picks for them.

I think either could work in a normal off season but there seems to be a hold up with these cap dump trades. Seems like the Isles, Avs plus other teams looking to get space and no one is moving right now. Is the price to high?

Please stop expecting Chicago to send back picks for bad players like Foegele.

Edmonton is not selling Barrie low, sorry.

Tyson Barrie and John Klingberg are quite similar players, but Barrie is paid $4.5M and Klingberg just signed in L.A. for $7M. Barrie represents good value to any team looking for an offensive RHD who can quarterback a top power play unit. Most teams with that need are pretty tight to the cap ceiling and still need to complete their rosters. The Oilers have said they are happy to have Barrie with them next year, and it seems the only reasons his name is rumored to be on the trade block are the emergence of Evan Bouchard and Edmonton's need to get under the salary cap. He will not be a cap dump, Holland won't give him away,

Warren Foegele is also a solid NHL player who is rumored to be on the trade block for similar reasons. The Oilers need to clear some cap space, they signed Mattius Janmark and Dylan Holloway looks like a solid bet to stick with the Oilers this year. Where Barrie has near elite level power play stats, there is nothing spectacular about Foegele's game, he's just a fast and physical forward who generates a lot of scoring chances when playing with elite teammates. Given that he's a left handed forward who can play on either wing, he has some versatility. However, he is much easier to replace than Barrie, and therefore more difficult o trade if the Oilers want a fair return.

If he’s reliant on good teammates, trade him to a contender. Chicago is getting rid of all their good players (I would bet on Kane being traded away at the deadline), so if he were to be on the team I would expect a horrid season out of him. Not something I want to be giving away futures for.

I agree, Foegele is not a typical cap dump candidate. Being a strong complimentary player, he would normally be the kind of addition a playoff team might be interested in. The NHL is not operating normally though, and that is a big challenge for every one of the league's top teams. Simply put, each of those teams has salary cap pressure that challenges the ability to compete a roster. That's why many AcGMs default to dumping contracts on the Blackhawks, Coyotes, Sabres, Ducks, etc.. I'm not saying a I agree with that strategy, I'm just acknowledging that it is a trend on capFriendly.com.

I understand, thanks for the response. I’m not sure what teams would plan on taking him, but we’ll see what happens during the rest of the off-season.
