2020 NHL Draft prospect profile: Tyson Foerster’s skating form is holding him back

Tyson Foerster played a lot of minutes for the Barrie Colts in 2019-20; one of the most-used forwards at even strength in the draft class. He made good use of that time, seeing a massive year-to-year increase in his production, with twice as many assists as he had total points in his rookie year in the OHL, and an impressive 36 goals. He ranked fifth among first-year draft-eligible forwards in the league, with 80 points.

He sits well below the other four — Marco Rossi, Cole Perfetti, Jack Quinn, and Quinton Byfield — in the draft rankings, and quite possibly won’t even be a first-round pick.
