Reports swirled on Wednesday afternoon that the New Jersey Devils signed defenseman Cal Foote to a two-way deal. Foote is a former first-round pick that has been with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Nashville Predators. He showed a ton of promise at one point, but it seems like his ceiling will never be met.
The Lightning traded Foote to the Nashville Predators in the Tanner Jeannot, but he wasn’t qualified in one of the many confusing moves in the first year under Barry Trotz. He’s still just 24 years old, so there is still time for him to grow.
