This is the pick that was cause for debate, as Foote was expected to go in the middle to late stages of the second round, and potentially even the third round. However, the Lightning reached for the brother of their top defensive prospect, Cal Foote, with this pick. I did a scouting report on Foote shortly after day 1 of the draft was completed, but I’ll give you a quick run down. He isn’t a very good skater, but outside of that, possesses a well-balanced, two-way skill-set. If he can hone in on his skating skills, I could easily see him as a second line winger in the future.
