The Jackets will most likely give Foudy some playing time during the playoffs, just like they did Texier & Gavrikov last year, to audition him to see where he is at developmentally.
It will give them an idea if he is ready for regular minutes in the NHL (albeit most likely on the wing instead of at center).
This will help guide them going into 2020-21 season regarding what to do with Wennberg.
If Foudy is NHL ready, they will probably keep Wennberg for another year, play Wennberg & Jenner at center with Foudy on the wing, and hope to entice a TDL trade or Seattle to take him (Wennberg).
Otherwise, they also may try Grigorenko at 3C or 4C to see if he is capable.
All this will be gearing up for a couple years' time when Werenski & Jones & Bjorkstrand are due for their big contracts.
