remkin Report post Posted December 21, 2017 Been high on Foegele for a while. He passes the eyeball test too. Didn't seem him breaking out this much this soon though. I call up Wallmark and Zykov first though just because Foegele is a bit younger, but Foegele does bring an all around game and some grit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gocanes0506 Report post Posted January 17, 2018 The Checkers did win last night. Foegle continues his point push. 2 goals and 1 assist. Almost up to a PPG player. Ned got a shutout. Wallmark seems to be their good luck charm. They went 1-5 without him. But have a great record with him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remkin Report post Posted January 24, 2018 Yeah this makes me grin from ear to ear. Foegele is the real deal. He and Zykov have earned a serious shot in the NHL. But Foegele, who is still a rookie in the AHL can still simmer, but eventually he'll be up here. He's that gritty winger who can score that we've been pining for. He brings what McGinn brings plus more size and more goals and a touch more skill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No trouble adjusting to the AHL from Junior hockey. I was referring to your part about him staying and simmering. He can simmer but it cost us all the same. As far as call ups I let Kuokkanen simmer. He has struggled since the U20 tournament and he is contract slide eligible. No one else fits that bill in Charlotte. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm thinking pure development path. But given how he's playing with ease in the AHL, what the heck. I know I'd like to see him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
