From the Article:
Blue Jackets director of player personnel Chris Clark said Foudy needs to improve in several areas before he can be considered NHL-ready.
"He's got speed, but if you're fast, it doesn't matter, a defenseman can judge speed," Clark said. "It's the change of speed. That's something he's been working on the last year or so that we've been talking to him about.
"Also, using his speed all the time. He doesn't realize how fast he is, how scary that is for a defenseman or a defender to see that speed. He's got to challenge defensemen, challenge guys, take pucks to the net. That's something he's developed over the last half of [last] season as well."
Foudy said he doesn't expect his progress to be stymied by another season in juniors, if that's where he winds up.
"Having that rule has brought some good players [to the OHL] that just aren't quite good enough to play in the NHL yet," he said. "It helps a lot. It makes the development a lot better in the OHL. You're playing against some top guys. I don't have a big problem with it."

My brother will like this too (in the future)... he doesn't follow prospects, but he still lives in the DC area and loves the Caps. I made a big deal about the Caps drafting him and he didn't think it was a big deal at the time.... he'll see later.
