Prospect Info: 2023 174th Overall - Cooper Foster

[Andy99]

Also Foster Cooper is possibly the most Strayan name ever.

Now that’s a name I expect to be jumping out of a hijacked airplane with a bag full of government money….

Oh look at that our GM picked someone born in Sault Ste Marie. That was quick.

At least he's doing it with some late round, gonna probably be nothing regardless, pick.

 

[hiptanaka]

Sounds like an AI-generated name.

Can he change his name to Cooper Fosterainen to fit in with our other picks?

 

[Peat]

Kupari Fosterainen

Checking him (and Malcolm Spence) out tonight in Erie. At the moment my seat sucks for filming, hoping once the game starts i can move higher and get some footage for everyone.

Foster just made it 2-0 Ottawa. Took a pass on the LW and had a step on the defender. Beat the goalie short side high over the blocker.

Foster picks up a primary assist after his rebound is put in. 3-0 Ottawa.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Foster hasn't been signed yet to a NHL deal?

I went to a daycare and a hockey game broke out. I took the L tonight on filming, never seen so many people get up during the play. I dont recommend Erie if you go to actually pay attention to the game.

Some notes on Foster after watching him for 40 minutes...

Pros- decent with the puck, good skater, and was really good at picking off passes by anticipating where the puck was headed.

Cons - 0 jam to his game. He actually skated off the ice during a scrum after the whistle while everyone else was in it. Avoids giving and taking contact.

I dont think his game is skilled enough to play top 6, and isnt built for bottom 6. I could see him being an okay player in one of the Euro leagues.

He sounds like a lock to play 15 mins a night for Mike Sullivan to me.
