I'm not even a Foegele fan but he outscored Arvid away from PP over several seasons. He will continue to. If you're surmising Arvid is going to suddenly start scoring gobs here he's not even off the injured list. The Oilers never haven released what nature of injury is, and the duration going from cited "game to game" to now being 4 weeks out, and still no disclosure suggests to me it could be another back injury and the org too embarassed at this point to even disclose.
Arvid for sure isn't getting anywhere near 20 goals. lol the last time Arvid even hit 20EV goals he was 25, healthy, prime of life and before multiple back surgeries. This contract is so indescribably stupid. Oilers just bought out the Jack Campbell contract to have money to waste it on the latest clusterf*** signing.
I mean the logic would be that Draisaitl would surely increase or at least maintain that production in the same way that Hyman came here and saw a big increase in his production with McDavid.
Problem is Leon doesn't really seem to be like a "plug n play" center that a lot of guys instantly score through the roof with.
It's hardly just Arvidsson that's come here and struggled to score.
It probably doesn't help that Knoblaugh seems clueless as a coach offensively. Other coaches are making adjustments towards our play style, doesn't look like Knob has any adjustments for that side of the rink.
