2019 NHL Draft prospect profile: He didn’t turn into an elite prospect, but Nolan Foote is still a great goal-scorer

Nolan Foote was highly touted a couple of years ago. He recorded 35 points for the Kelowna Rockets, including 19 goals, as a 16-year-old. Those were impressive numbers, which led to him being projected as a top prospect for the 2019 Draft.

Two years later, it hasn’t really materialized for the forward. He hasn’t shown the progression expected.

That being said, Foote remains a very interesting prospect for teams looking for a goal-scorer. He put up 63 points in 66 games with the Rockets this season. Thirty-six of them were goals, and that’s a big jump from the 13 he recorded in 2017-18.
