Warren Foegele: our analysis

2025-26 season: 21 GP, 6 G, 2 A, 8 PTS, +6 +/-, 11:35 TOI. WAR 1.1 (160th of 615) · PAL 44, around average.

In 2025-26, Warren Foegele, 30, posts a PAL Rating of 44 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of 1.1 ranks 160th among 615 regulars, in the top half.

His strengths: penalty kill (91, among the best in the league) and creation (73, above average). On the other hand, offense (12, among the weakest in the league) and power play (14, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+2.9); his biggest cost: finishing (-1.1).

A marked decline: his PAL was 94 in 2024-25, against 44 now; his WAR went from 2.8 to 1.1.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 35 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Warren Foegele's story

Growing up in Markham, Ontario, Warren Foegele developed through St. Andrew’s College, where he served as an alternate captain and helped the program capture a CISAA championship before moving on to the University of New Hampshire for his freshman season. After limited action in the fall of his sophomore year, he chose to shift into major junior hockey and joined the Kingston Frontenacs to accelerate his development.

The move to Kingston also included a position switch to centre, and his production rose: he posted 13 goals and 48 points in 52 games in 2015–16. Midway through the 2016–17 campaign he was traded to the Erie Otters; with Erie he played a key part in winning the J. Ross Robertson Cup and was honoured as the playoffs’ most valuable player with the Wayne Gretzky 99 Award. The Otters advanced to the Memorial Cup final that year, falling to the Windsor Spitfires.

Carolina had selected Foegele 67th overall in the 2014 draft, and he signed an entry-level contract on 31 March 2017. He began his professional career with the Charlotte Checkers in the AHL, earning an All-Star nod and team rookie honours before his first NHL call-up on 25 March 2018. One day later he made his NHL debut and recorded a goal and an assist in a 4–1 victory over the Ottawa Senators. Over the next seasons with the Hurricanes he became a regular contributor and produced notable playoff moments, including a postseason goal just 17 seconds in — the fastest in franchise postseason history — and tying a rookie postseason points mark for the franchise.

On 28 July 2021 Carolina traded Foegele to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Ethan Bear; Edmonton signed him to a three-year extension days later. In Edmonton he played full campaigns, experienced a five-point game on 31 December 2023 (two goals, three assists), and reached a 2023–24 season of 20 goals and 41 points while participating in deep playoff runs.

As a free agent Foegele inked a three-year deal with the Los Angeles Kings on 1 July 2024, set new single-season highs in goals and points in Los Angeles, then was traded to the Ottawa Senators on 5 March 2026. He scored in his Senators debut on 7 March and finished that stint with six goals and eight points in 21 games. Across his career he has been valued for a straightforward attacking game, the ability to find scoring areas and the versatility to play different roles when his team needs shutdown minutes.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2025-26

How we rate →

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.
