That's disappointing. Guys who go to arbitration tend to get paid too much in my opinion. I like McLeod but he has big time consistency problems, way too often he plays a perimeter game when a guy his size and speed should be driving the net all the time and his career high is 23 pt. I look at what you actually produced vs what you might. If a person looks at his game logs, they will see a guy who will pile up a bunch of points in a short span, then go really long stretches where you have to check the game sheet to know he existed that game.

Doubling his salary to be around 1.5 mill should be more than fair.

If arbitrators consistently paid guys too much, they'd stop being selected as arbitrators.

I don't have a list of all the arb case results but I don't recall seeing an arb case where I come away thinking. "wow, what a great deal". The players tend to do pretty well.

That says more about your evaluation of players than the arbitration system. I'll say it again, if arbitrators consistently awarded too much they would stop being selected as arbitrators. If arbitrators occasionally awarded too much, teams would walk away from the players. If the system was fundamentally flawed it would have been changed in bargaining or become a bargaining issue.




The danger of an offer sheet for Bouchard,




There are so few teams with the cap space and their own draft picks to make an offer sheet a viable threat. We need cap flexibility, but I’d have next to zero concerns of an offer sheet. Maybe Chicago, but their first round pick will likely be a lottery pick. Not happening.

I could see Foegele being moved if negotiations with McLeod and Bouchard went wrong, but I don’t think that’d be the most horrible thing. Replaceable player.



It's been mentioned by some in the media, including Oilers mouth piece Stauffer, that some of the key Oilers were asked who are a few players they saw as important to keep. Janmark and Foegele were supposedly mentioned. Take it for what it's worth.

I'm a a bit of the opinion that you might be able to replace Foegele for a cheaper option but if the key guys think he's important to the team, I will defer to them.


The same poll would have wanted Barrie in the room too. Friends get traded all the time, and the NHL community is small, so in all likelihood you’re getting a bro back in return.

Winning is everything to these guys. Foegele has had his opportunities to be a bigger part of the equation and he has not been that guy at that price. He brings very little positive cap value to the team.
