Too late to package them together now since Bean went for a 2nd. I think the Canes went for quantity over quality in this year's draft because COVID's impact on the developmental leagues made it difficult to evaluate prospects, so instead of having more confidence in the higher picks it's more of a guessing game. The more guesses you have the better chance of picking a winner.
I agree that Foegele is probably worth a 2nd if they trade him, but I think they're going to try to keep him. He seems to fit in well with the Canes style of play and the linemates that he's been playing with. I'm not sure he'd be as effective somewhere else. I think they just want to see how much cap space they're going to have left after they take care of more urgent matters.
