Not sure how many other people saw the Seravalli Daily Face Off vid. He also indicated that Holland has thrown out feelers to see if anyone is interested in Foegele (and I believe he said Ryan as well).
Foegele started the year looking like a guy who cared and just, sucks again. Meanwhile Bear is one of the few bright spots in Vancouver.

I have heard that every team he has played on.
Im not writing him off but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s struggle city by the end of the season and / or next season either.

He seems to have fallen off harder than Pulju has and he's only $100k cheaper.

The cap space is the main asset in a swap for a pick.
Like everyone else on the team, he’s played well the last 3games.

I see him as the impact defense forward the team could actually really use to win match ups and take the pressure of when things aren't going in. Plus he can score a bit.
I do see him as fit, but he would cost alot all round, no question.

You made the comparison to Kostin. Unironically he's a similar high pedigree young NHL player who needed a fresh start. We don't know what the interest was in Puljujarvi. We did see two wildly uneven half seasons of hockey to see more potential in the player.
Was never going to be dealt without what this team felt was a reasonable return for a guy who might project to play anywhere from first to third line on a team with weak RW depth. With this team's pro scouting history, I take the gamble on qualifying Puljujarvi all day versus trying to hope for help in the remainder bin.

I think the team needs to make some cap space. I'd rather they just clear some if they are moving JP.
I'd be open to a Gurianov and Foegele swap. Gurianov been a disaster this year but has 1 year left as opposed to 2.

You spelled Kassian wrong.If only somebody could have predicted JP wasn't gonna be good years ago
I agree I would prefer the team trade Pulju to clear up some cap space. But it's between Pulju or Gurianov at this point, I would prefer the Oilers take their chances on Gurianov. Worst case is you give Kostin a buddy and we set Pulju free
Which is fine if we can clear 3 mill off the books without taking anything back

That's fine if just that $3M is gone. Or getting a warm body of some use.

There is not guarantee he would get a better deal by going UFA. Chances are he would end up on a PTO or back in Europe. Going UFA means waiting until after most teams have made their key player decisions. If the cap only goes up $1M teams may be tighter this year than last and we saw a lot of players with better resumes that JP get a lot less than they expected.
His best shot at resurrecting his value is to sign a team friendly deal with the team that trades for him before the UFA period if they are willing. The have already shown that they have interest.
