I think people are way too caught up in numbers especially from college players and not looking closely enough at play styles. Fox doesn't play anywhere near an NHL style game and will struggle to preform at the highest level. Foo seems pretty average in all regards.
Well the Flames coach thinks Foo has a chance to make the team out of camp. Doesn't sound like he's a long shot to be an NHLer at all. Maybe your opinion of him is a bit off reality?
