Any chance this kid progresses similar to a Mikko Rantanen type guy?
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.
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.
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.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.
Yeah, just looked at their stats and he’s their only player who’s over a point per game.Kelowna blows. You see what he can do when you surround him with actual talent as evident by how he looked at the WJC.
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.Yeah, just looked at their stats and he’s their only player who’s over a point per game.
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.
