2021-22 Season:
Liam Foudy only played 30 games total last season, missed the last three months of the season due to injury, and wasn’t too impressive in any of his appearances. He recorded a 7-12-19 stat line in 29 games with the Cleveland monsters, which is decent enough, but is a big downgrade from his 16 points in 12 games from the season before. He got one shot off, one hit thrown, and one goal against in his one game with the Blue Jackets this season, a 9-2 slaughtering at the hands of the Florida Panthers.
2022-23 Outlook:
Foudy’s a bit hard to predict, as he’s still an elite skater, and has showed flashes of brilliance during the 2020 Playoff bubble, but has really struggled to impress since then. With the logjam of forwards in the system, expect Foudy to play most of the season in Cleveland, bearing any injuries or a complete resurgence with the Monsters.
