Value of: Warren Foegele UFA

[Chainshot]

Everyone is comparing UFA contracts to RFA contracts and ELCs all the time. Those require other assets, not just money, to acquire.

Generally yes, your UFA contracts should be your worst contracts money wise. But they also don't require you to give up any other assets

The point being that GM's are trying to win now and in the nearer future. If they make a terrible long signing, they usually don't have to clean it up so they act accordingly.

He seems to be best in contract years. Would only want him on a 1 year deal. Even if you had to pay more for that year

I don't know if its a contract year thing, as much as it is that he had significantly more opportunities in the top six this year. He's the kind of guy that isn't going to produce much on his own on a 3rd line, but when playing in a scoring role he can flirt with 20 goals and 40 points.
