Very interesting player for sure, but does he have enough offensive potential to be seen as a future top 6 player?

Also, saw in your article that his mother is France Gareau and his brother's name is Jean-Luc... Does anybody know if he happens to speak French?

Would be a shame if he didn't

Toronto kid who could slide into the 1st round. Killed the combine by the way.

Would he be a reach at 25th overall?

I don't think so. IMO if the Sens reached for him at 22 it would not bother me a bit... I was targeting Kaut if he lasts that long but he was sent home from the combine with a heart issue.. Its not supposed to be serious but it is a concern.

Damn - he really rose up the ranks this year.

If I remember correctly from his OHL draft, he is an OFSAA track star as well.

I'm a big fan of Foudy. I thought he really improved this season.

Really excited about his combine results - fantastic for him.

Foudy as a first round pick is a bit generous for what i've seen from him - but I really like him a lot, so certainly won't complain.

For any team that picks him - London is obviously in a transition point given its sell-off second half of last season. So when Foudy returns to the team next season he'll play a prominent role for sure.

Not that it means anything because it seems like most agencie's rankings are all over the place but McKeens has Foudy now at 25. I wouldn't mind taking him at 25 or even trading down a bit and taking him and picking up another pick. I don't think he lasts until 52. Just curious, does anybody know if the Leafs interviewed Foudy at the combine? I don't think they did.

40th OA to the Oilers?
I know the instinct is to put him with McDavid but I think he'd be better with Draisaitl. A line of Foudy-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi would have a devastating mix of size, skill and speed if Puljujarvi can get his shit together.

I think Button had him at #40....good bet to go somewhere between #35 and #45....speed merchant center who might a little short in the playmaking department.....but will defer to those who have actually seen him play....came on like gangbusters in the last 30 games so a good bet to kill it in the OHL in his draft-plus-one year.

Wouldn't be surprised if Montreal targets him with one of their 2 early 2nd rounders. He'd definitely help organizational depth at C.

Hopefully the Jets can snag him in the 2nd round. Guy seems like a fitness freak and has some wheels.

I think his floor is around pick 20. I think he has more upside than his teammate Alex Formenton. I really like this kid and wont be upset if we take him at 22.
