Detroit reporters seem to believe there's a good chance he's going there as well.

I love how a guy I've literally never heard of is suddenly a hot free agent. Want me some Foo!

well this guy says we are out of it... Edmonton too:

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Wouldn't be surprised to see VGK take B. Davidson from #Habs. Same agent as Spencer Foo & Reid Duke. Belief is Foo is down to VGK or Detroit

edit: guess Edmonton still in it

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Replying to @frank_seravalli
#Oilers another team still in the mix on Foo. He's waiting until after expansion draft to make a decision.

Could be true, but B. Davidson from the Habs makes sense given their fairly putrid list. I am not sure how meaningful linking agents and signings is, although I suppose there might be data out there.

If I was Spencer, I would totally be looking at Edmonton as well. I mean, their depth is a huge, big stinking pile of foo.

From a Flyers beat reporter

News Update

Not a huge surprise with how crowded roster is, but #Flyers no longer on Spencer Foo's list, I'm told.

Man if we could get Foo, it would be the cherry on top of a solid week.

I wonder if trading so many picks away makes the Flames more enticing to Foo and other college free agents.

It should. From a forward perspective, we don't really have anyone knocking on the door except for Jankowski (who will hopefully graduate this year). Dube is back in junior next year? Mangiapane is a nice prospect but still a year or two away if he makes the jump at all. Shinkaruk, Klimchuk and Poirier are all borderline at this stage as well.

That said, I have a feeling he ends up in Detroit...

Not that it will likely influence his decision, but his brother got drafted in the fifth round by Chicago.

News Update

Craig Custance @CraigCustance
The Spencer Foo camp getting together on Monday to weigh his options. Red Wings and Flames very much in it. Decision likely Mon or Tue.

Great to hear!! Also, very nice to see the Oilers drop off as they were one of the main favourites. With limited high end draft picks in the coming years, signing higher profile college free agents like this will be key!!
