What a shot for a 15 year old, it explodes off his stick from behind him.

Facts are he's been 16 for a few months now lol, from what I've seen he has a great shot and IQ but skating may need some work.

 

[Stuzchuk]

Why did I know that he was Adam Foote's son?
Owen Nolan and Adam Foote were best friend back in the days... I wonder where "Nolan" Foote comes from

 

[Mach12]

How old do you have to be that Adam Foote has a second son on his way to the NHL?

 

[wings5]

Can anyone comment as to if he is playing Center this year? Seems to be taking quite a bit of faceoffs.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He's definitely a guy you want on your team.

 

[Habs76]

As a Habs fan, these 2019 prospects are exciting me

Not quite, he is still predominantly a left-winger and someone I would want on the wing considering his strengths. Was taking faceoffs in a similar fashion like Landeskog and Rantanen do for a specific side when it's not MacKinnon. I thought he would be a little bit more dominant both in person and on the stat sheet considering how loaded the Rockets are. However, this shouldn't take away anything he has accomplished thus far, he's a fantastic prospect who is still top 5 for me in 2019.

How has this guy been holding up? He was very highly touted earlier this year , but this thread has been dead quiet since then. Does he still project out to be a 1st round pick? I get the sense that some prospects have definitely passed him right now.

Nolan Foote — son of Adam, brother of Cal — is stepping into the spotlight this season, taking on a starring role for the WHL's Kelowna Rockets in his NHL draft year. He's healthy, ready and raring to go. Here is my long-form feature on the potential first-round pick in 2019: https://thehockeywriters.com/rockets-nolan-foote-gearing-up-for-draft-year/

 

[Larry Fisher]

Three goals and four points in three preseason appearances for Foote.

 

[Dominance]

Three goals and four points in three preseason appearances for Foote.

He’s really flying under the radar but seems primed to be his team’s offensive backbone this year, and Kelowna’s always at least decent. Definitely still a strong contender for the first round.

ppg so far in the Dub, thought he might get a WJC invite but guess there is too much competition .

Really liked his SSS games against Russia. Reminds me of Eric Cole.

I can't believe how quiet this thread is just given his potential draft status and heritage

He's not Hughes/Kakko and most people don't actually watch. I've liked him most of the games I've seen him this year and he's gotten his shooting mentality back which is his best trait along with his physical play. Skating isn't much of a weakness anymore either(still needs work going ahead though) so for me he's a 1st day player as long as he keeps improving.

I love him as a secondary player added late in the first. He's not gonna make or break a franchise by any means but I think he projects as a quality 40-60 point guy with size, intangibles and a decent shot. I'm probably in the minority as a sabres fan but I'm hoping he's one of our picks.

 

[DJN21]

theres gotta be an update on this kid for those of us unable to watch these games...

[Debrincat93]

watching some clips, he slightly reminds me of a poor mans mantha, no?

 

[Killerjas]

Damn his stock dropped

Not as good of a skater, probably more Rene Bourque, Matt Moulson.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I hope he's there for our 2nd.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I see him being the faller of the draft.
