As general managers in the National Hockey League begin to overlook the quality of bigger, bulkier defensemen in a league that is trending toward smaller, faster blueliners, players like Callan Foote become borderline steals in their Draft years.
The Dallas Stars are enjoying the same development out of 6’3″, 230 lb defenseman Stephen Johns.
