I hate how the ESPN broadcast is so f***ing quiet I didn't even know they'd damn made the pick until this thread popped up.

Oh look at that our GM picked someone born in Sault Ste Marie. That was quick.

Cooper Foster is a well-rounded two-way center who hopes to hear his name called at the 2023 Draft. He works hard, is strong in his own zone and showed he has some goal-scoring capabilities this season for the Ottawa 67’s. While he may not be the most skilled, he is one of the hardest-working players on the ice, which led to a successful season in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) this year.
The area of Foster’s game that sticks out the most is how defensively reliable he is. He ensures his stick is blocking passing lanes and is in the right position while defending against the cycle. His defensive play also lends well to the penalty kill, as he helped Ottawa establish the second-best penalty kill in the OHL during the 2022-23 season.

Yeah it seems like Foster is a high IQ player with questionable tools, but he could be a really good player if he develops those tools.

Pretty much what you'd expect from a 6th rounder.

What an unremarkable name, for likely an equally unremarkable curtain jerking player.

Also Foster Cooper is possibly the most Strayan name ever.

Being that good defensively that young, is an encouraging sign.

Decent hockey name. But such a disappointing whiff when Yegor Yegorov was sitting right there for the taking.
Could have had a Yager and Yegor line, They definitely whiffed on this pick.
