I will be curious to see who plays today. Foegele has been scratched for 2 games in a row which I don't agree. What has JP or Yamo done much better that makes it so they don't get scratched? All 3 of the 3 mill men have been lousy this year.
Yamo - 29GP - 3 g, 10 pts +5. That's an 8 goal, 28 pt pace in 82.
JP - 41GP - 3 g, 9 pts, -13. That's a 6 goal, 18 pt pace in 82.
Foegele - 28GP - 4g, 7 pts, -1. That's a 12 goal, 21 pt pace in 82.
What's worse is that JP and Yamo have played significant time with one of McD or Leon. So I would have rotating scratching. Not one of those guys especially JP or Yamo have remotely lived up to their contract.

Janmark should be out. He's been a black hole. The others have generated some chances lately. Yamamoto scored a SHG just Thursday. Puljujarvi is among our best forecheckers. They should not sit for Foegele, and certainly not for Janmark.

I would have Yamo last on the list to scratch because as you pointed out, he did score a shorty and has looked a bit better lately but the rope he gets isn't that long.
I am not going to die on the hill arguing in favor for him so if Janmark gets scratch, sure. But Janmark makes 1.25 mill. He's on a 9 goal, 27 pt pace in 82 games. That's a perfectly acceptable amount of production for a guy making what he makes. He can kill some penalties and is what I see as a pretty standard NHL bottom 6 guy. Could you replace him with someone else at similar dollars and probably get the same level of play, sure. But I don't see him as a problem given what he makes.
Maybe you disagree with me but being a good forechecker doesn't = 3 mill at least in my books for JP. You could take what JP makes and go sign 3 guys at 1 mill a piece, ice an entire NHL 4th line and I bet you could get more goals, pts and they would probably forecheck just fine. They sat Foegele for 2 games to maybe teach him a lesson, now it's JP's turn. Then once you sit JP for a game or 2 to send a message, if Yamo isn't going better, you sit him.
The Oilers are paying 8.85 mill for Yamo, JP & Foegele and in return they have got to date 10 goals, 28 pts. Those 3 should have made up a massive chunk of the Oilers "depth". No reason what so ever those 3 shouldn't be combining for 45-50 goals and over 100 pts at least. They will be lucky to get half that. That's pathetic. That kind of production from 3 guys is the type of production you expect from 3 guys making barely over league min.
McLeod isn't far behind in my books. Now thankfully he is making barely over league min so I am fine to give him a bit more rope but in the offseason everyone was so worried about locking him up long term because he will explode. Well thank god they didn't because he's been lousy as well and with how he's played, he's not in line to get much of a raise next year.
