NHL: Predators acquire former first-round pick off waivers

The Nashville Predators claimed forward Liam Foudy off waivers on Saturday. The player had been affected by the Columbus Blue Jackets the day before.

Foudy, a first-round pick (18th overall) of the Blue Jackets in 2018, never managed to establish himself with the club. In 90 games in the National Hockey League (NHL), the 23-year-old athlete scored seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points.

Last year he spent the entire season in Columbus, where he wore the team’s jersey 62 times and was also a scorer on 14 occasions.
