I know basically nothing about the kid, but from what I've read since the trade went down he's exactly the type of high upside player a rebuilding franchise should be looking to acquire. Very good chance at being a player/scorer in the NHL, reasonable chance of being an impact guy,

Blake Coleman trade grades: Lightning gain depth, Devils add top prospect Nolan Foote | Sporting News Canada

Good trade. Foote’s a beast.

 

[Davegarri]

Any chance this kid progresses similar to a Mikko Rantanen type guy?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Big boy with a big shot. Seems the type of prospect a lot of people have been asking for.

Every scouting report I have read says that his skating is what holds him back, but that it has improved this year.

He has NHL shot right now and really high IQ. Exciting prospect. Seems an ideal winger prospect for Hughes.

Hope to see him someday putting his best foot forward

Pronman: 2019-20 midseason NHL prospects ranking

Ranked 48 by Pronman at mid season. This is the positive stuff

“He has a missile of a shot that can score from long distance. He’s a big forward who can win puck battles. Foote’s skating will never wow you, but it’s fine – not a strength, but not a weakness.”

A big shoot first winger with good IQ is basically what we have been asking for for Jack since we drafted him.

Someone who can pot his grade A chances and compensate for Jack being smaller and inevitably not being able to win as many board battles.

I worry about his skating. Even though he's "improving," it's something that too many of our prospects recently haven't been able to improve upon

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I'm not worried about his skating. If Gusev can succeed, he can too.

 

[JK3]

Holy hell and we thought Cangi's "scarrrr" was bad.

Foote - Hischier - Hughes. That is a line I want to see the Devils use one day. (Yes Jack as a RW) 3 different players and hopefully what could be 1 dominant line in the NHL one day.

zero reason to do this unless we draft Byfield.

[Devils731]

The Rockets really lack offensive punch outside of Foote and maybe 1 or 2 guys. It’s interesting to think where Foote’s stock might be if he had some other big offensive players to play with.

 

[TrufleShufle]

So he is eligible for Bingo next year. So a much stronger possibility we get to see him play because he can be sheltered down there if he isn't fully ready.

Good trade. Foote’s a beast.

Not sure what makes him a beast. I’m a sth in Kelowna and he’s not even a beast in the whl. Kid is not a good skater at all. Good shot on the pp. Not much else.

Kelowna blows. You see what he can do when you surround him with actual talent as evident by how he looked at the WJC.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Now we have two gold medal winners from WJC. Always nice.

 

[Guttersniped]

Yeah, just looked at their stats and he’s their only player who’s over a point per game.

 

[beekay414]

Yeah, just looked at their stats and he’s their only player who’s over a point per game.

Yeah, it's like this dude is expecting him to be a Alexis Lafreniere or Quinton Byfield type when someone says "beast." No, he's not someone that's going to be able to carry you and lift up linemates. That's not what we acquired him to do. He's a secondary piece but a huge piece nonetheless.

His profile is like a smarter JvR. I'll take that any day of the week in a trade for a prospect.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Our forward prospect pool is going to be really good if we end up taking a Laffy, Byfield, Stutzle, etc.

Just sayin', it'd be a lot of fun if Foote and Smith both make it to Newark some time next season.

Don't rush them if it isn't in their best interests, but I wanna see the future noooooow.

they will both be AHL eligible so even if they don’t make the team in camp, we should see them as callups eventually.
