2017 Draft Prospect Profile: Cal Foote and Sins of the Father

As I started researching Callan “Cal” Foote for this profile, I saw a young defenseman with preternatural vision and passing ability, but one that will need a few years to add muscle and improve his skating ability. Overall, a great pick for Columbus in the latter half of the first round.

[extremely Stephen A. Smith voice] HOWEVA-

He has that last name, and yes he’s related to THAT Foote. Cal Foote is the son of former Blue Jackets captain Adam Foote. The same Adam Foote who quit on the team and had a plane gassed up and ready to go before his trade back to Colorado was even complete.
