Foudy, 23, was selected 18th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and has gone on to appear in 90 games with the team since making his debut during the 2019-20 season.
Last season, Foudy set a new career high in goals, assists and points. In 62 games, the Scarborough, Ontario native had 14 points (seven goals, seven assists).
If Foudy clears waivers on Saturday afternoon, which seems pretty unlikely, he'll be assigned to the Blue Jackets' American Hockey League affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters.
Elliotte Friedman also mentioned that all three players on waivers yesterday - Jansen Harkins (Pittsburgh), Radim Simek (San Jose), Zack MacEwen (Ottawa) - have cleared waivers and will be assigned to the AHL.
