C Jean-Luc Foudy - Windsor Spitfires, OHL (2020, 75th, COL)

[Daneurism]

He actually reminds me a little of MacKinnon. People will say thats a big comparison, but I think he's going to be a star. Not saying he'll be as good as MacKinnon, but I don't think the comparison is too lofty.

I can't believe it but...I sort of agree with you that he's gonna be a star. I'll probably eat shit for this prediction, but i've seen this kid do so many impressive things over the years, I think the bad parts of his game can be coached out unlike the Petersons and Stranges of the world who just aren't pro hockey players.

What was said about his strength is bang on. Lots of room for improvement.

Avs didn’t have a second so grabbing Foudy was like not even missing that pick. I’m excited for the kid but his path likely leads through the AHL, and Godspeed.

Via tigrevixxen.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Has 9 points in 17 games this season in the AHL. Really solid all things considered.

I’ve always thought he had better upside than his brother but both still project as 3rd line PKers.

I think that's dramatically underselling his upside. I think he has some of the highest upside in the 2020 draft. There are guys who score 50-60 points in the NHL purely from having a little skill to go along with elite speed. At worst, he meets those minimum requirements. I'd argue he has good skill. There's no reason his ceiling isn't that of a first liner.

I agrée that’s his ceiling however I prefer to give a more realistic projection on what he’ll become at the NHL level.

Well deserved after his play in the AHL this year. He’s an intriguing prospect that should fit well on the Avs if he reaches his potential

I never watched him in junior so I was surprised to read that he was weak on the puck because in the AHL he played like he was 6.3 against the Condors. Also surprised he was drafted in the third round with his skills and skating. Avs probably have a second liner in him. ELC well earned.

Bit surprised he wasn't invited to the WJC camp, his production hasn't been there in the AHL this season but he is still an underager. I still believe he can progress have an NHL role someday

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Strong start to what was supposed to be his first AHL season.

Strong start to what was supposed to be his first AHL season.

Just saw that yesterday. Putting up some nice offensive numbers.

Future 2C. Can't wait to see Newhook-Foudy-Olausson second line

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Could see his first NHL games soon - was called up after a very impressive start in the AHL.

Sp happy for the kid - he is one of the most underrated prospects in the NHL without a doubt.

He is making his debut tonight
