Now that I see what Foegele signed for I think this was a bad trade for Carolina, not because they didn't get fair value -- I don't know Bear well enough to say that -- but because unless they're planning more moves it appears that they need somebody like Foegele a lot more than Bear. With Bear and their free agent signings they now have 8 proven NHL-level defensemen under contract. While it certainly helps to have depth at that position, I don't think that makes up for the hole they've created on the wing. Foegele is a bit like Hyman in that you can put him with linemates who are more talented than he is and he can make them more effective. 3 years at $2.75M for a guy like that who's still only 25 is a fair price. Hopefully the Canes have a prospect who can step up and take his place, because I don't think Josh Leivo or Stefan Nosen is going to do it.
