In other trade action, the Edmonton Oilers dealt defenceman Ethan Bear to the Carolina Hurricanes for left-winger Warren Foegele. Foegele, 25, had 20 points for the 'Canes in the regular season and added another goal and an assist in 10 playoff appearances. The six-foot-six, 235-pound Russian blue liner had one goal and seven assists in 55 games for the Blackhawks last season.
