The Los Angeles Kings have made significant moves in the NHL free agency by signing forward Warren Foegele and defenseman Joel Edmundson. Foegele has agreed to a three-year deal in the mid-$3 million range with an average annual value (AAV) of $3.5 million. He previously played for the Edmonton Oilers, where he ranked fourth among forwards in even-strength points last season, following Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman. Despite having a career campaign, there were no contract talks between Foegele and the Oilers during the season. Meanwhile, Joel Edmundson has signed a four-year contract with an AAV of $3.8 million. These signings are expected to bolster the Kings' roster significantly.

Interesting note on Foegele - Ranked fourth among Oilers forwards in even-strength points last season. McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Foegele. On that team, that's impressive. Always bet on 5-on-5 scoring. Good value there. https://t.co/99xlcKiwnj
OFFICIAL - The @LAKings have signed forward Warren Foegele (3 Years, AAV: $3,500,000) and defenseman Joel Edmundson (4 Years, AAV: $3,800,000). More on @lakingsinsider. https://t.co/eZkiCDfWgB
No surprise Warren Foegele isn't back with the Oilers. There were no contract talks during the season despite a career campaign, and he had more downs than ups during the playoffs. A big basketball fan, you can bet Foegele will be at a lot of Lakers games in Los Angeles.
