Foegele, who is coming off a one-year deal that earned him $2.15 million, was acquired earlier this month in a trade that sent defenceman Ethan Bear to the Carolina Hurricanes.
In Foegele, the Oilers sought to fill a depth-scoring void that has been a long-standing concern for the team. During his three-season tenure with the Hurricanes, Foegele brought a strong two-way presence to the lineup while also earning a reputation as a strong penalty killer.
The 25-year-old put up his best numbers in 2019-20: 13 goals, 17 assists, 30 points in 68 games.
