People could argue either way whether he is, or not. However, he is a strong skater, with good strength, and hands. Also involved in the trade are some draft picks. Let&#8217;s discuss the details of this Ottawa Senators and Los Angeles Kings trade on the eve of the 2025-26 NHL Trade Deadline.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Sens?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Sens<\/a> have dealt for Kings F Warren Foegele in exchange for a second-round pick <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DarrenDreger?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@DarrenDreger<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SunGarrioch\/status\/2029681701035610586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 5, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Senators Trade for Foegele from Los Angeles Kings<\/h2>\n<p>If you look at his career, <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/foegewa01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-03-05_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Warren Foegele<\/a> has been steady, there&#8217;s no debating that fact. In his career 82-game average, he would have 16 goals, 16 assists, and skate 13:47 minutes a game.<\/p>\n<p>Last year was his career highs, but this year his production has dropped off. Of his career highs, goals (24), assists (22), points (46), 16:10 minutes a game, so a very productive first season in California.<\/p>\n<p>However, in 2025-26 in 47 games, he has just seven goals and two assists. It could be that an injury from November has been nagging, but either way, the level of reduction is concerning.<\/p>\n<h3>How Foegele Fits in Ottawa<\/h3>\n<p>On the other hand, Ottawa is making a big move here. If Foegele is 100% healthy, and ready to show a repeat of last year&#8217;s numbers, this will be big. Their forward group is very smartly constructed, and they will look to find a specific role for Foegele. It seems many of their players like <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/pintosh01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-03-05_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shane Pinto<\/a> or <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/cozendy01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-03-05_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dylan Cozens<\/a> would be able to work with Foegele&#8217;s speed.
