Predators place former first-round pick on waivers
The Nashville Predators are placing a former first-round pick on waivers this afternoon.
Predators head coach Andrew Brunette confirmed on a radio show that Liam Foudy will be going on waivers at 2 p.m. ET.
"Tough coming in when we already have guys as the extra [player]. He brings speed and I'd like to see him go down there and get a little more finish and a little stronger. If he clears, I'm really excited to have him in the organization. I really like the kid and I really like his speed." Brunette said.
Foudy, 23, was selected 18th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2018 and was claimed off waivers in October by Nashville.
In 12 games with the Predators this season, Foudy has three assists, two penalty minutes and is a minus-two.
