Warren Foegele. player. Pick Analysis. 22-years-old. Scouting Report. Left Wing. 5. 109

Two players fall on this list that played very little with the big club in Raleigh this season. The first of those two players is a potent scoring left winger, Warren Foegele. Taking part in the Checkers’ push to make it out of the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs at this moment, Foegele’s season is far from over in the AHL.

However, Foegele showed an impressive level of offensive prowess in his very limited action in the NHL this season. He finished up with three points in two games played this season, including a two-point performance in his NHL debut coming against the New Jersey Devils.

Carolina needs to continue to develop this great young offensive core they got going. Foegele is a significant part of that, since he’s showed that he could easily become a top six forward in the league entering his prime years.

As it pertains to the success of the Canes altogether, Foegele has the potential to be a 20-30 goal scorer. Carolina needs a lot more consistent scoring on the offensive end through the tougher months in the middle of the regular season. That’s where having offensive depth can get you through the grind of the middle of the regular season slate.
