The Edmonton Oilers signed restricted free agent forward Warren Foegele to a three-year contract with an average annual value of $2.75 million, the team announced Saturday.
The Oilers acquired Foegele from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for defenseman Ethan Bear earlier this week.
Warren Foegele, acquired by EDM, is a good two-way middle six forward whose only real weakness is finishing - despite that, he still scores at a decent rate because he gets high-quality chances. #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/NpVg7TWMaq
