2018-2019 Season: 18 points (12 goals 6 assists)
2019-2020 Season projection: 29 points (17 Goals 12 Assists)
Warren Foegele didn’t have a great regular season this past year. However, most of the time he was buried on the fourth line. Foegele had a great postseason run, scoring 5 goals in 15 games and 9 points overall. Foegele is another fast and strong Hurricane whose confidence grew throughout the season. I think Foegele is underrated, and can contribute more than people think. He is capable of being an enforcer/grinder type of player with a good shot. Foegele is set to surprise many people this season, and produce a larger sum of points than he did in 2018-19.
The first projected forward lineup is below:
The Canes will have a high amount of point production if the group can remain healthy. This seems to be one of the most talented forward group the Canes have had in some time and I think there still may be a chance of Justin Williams coming back as well. As long as Brind’amour is coach, expect the group to play fast and hard and potentially score a lot of points.
