Burroughs is already better than Foote. More physical, more reliable. Foote on a two way contract where he can get better in the minors maybe makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be a great fit with his Dad on staff, but if they can make it work and Cal views it as a “last chance” it could be a perfect storm.

Adam doesn’t seem like the type of person to take exceptions, it was never the type of player he was. We bring back Schenn then Cal has a good role model as well. Schenn has someone he can pass the torch to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Just had a quick look at his stats / NHL Vs Junior. Roughly .4 ppg in Junior. AHL not bad either. 24 yrs old , Not being able to crack the line up in Tampa for the last 3 seasons is understandable, same with showing with Nashville for only 24 games on a new team as a late season trade. His Junior stats are fine or better for the type of player he is .. physical, fearless. Just needs the right opportunity/ coach staff. Here answering to B Dillon . Definitely knows when to answer for the team. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could end up carrying a 3rd pairing for years which is what you need. D(and C) depth is super important on a playoff team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've always pulled for Cal Foote, from hoping without a chance at his draft, and then as his career progressed. This is also exactly the "look for a player drafted high that teams are not that high on right now, that could benefit from a new chance, etc." Heads Up Comparison: Tryamkin or Foote? And why not both? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why not both? More D depth the better. Injuries happen and you need that depth for the playoffs. Those young D will cook on a stacked AHL team then get the call when guys get hurt as they always do. I would look to add some NHL vets too. Don’t slouch on Ds and Cs depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I'd be down for Foote, but only if he comes cheap, like really cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo0921 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 23 hours ago, wildcam said: Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman cites colleague Jeff Marek to report that the two restricted free agents the Nashville Predators will issue qualifying offers are center Cody Glass and defenseman Alexandre Carrier. That means notable players such as 2017 first-round pick Cal Foote and capable defensive winger Rasmus Asplund will hit the open market. It’s somewhat a surprise to see Foote go unqualified, seeing that he was recently acquired as part of the Tanner Jeannottrade and does have a first-round pedigree. Sam Steel won’t be issued a qualifying offer by the Minnesota Wild, according to The Athletic’s Michael Russo. Steel had a decent season with the Wild, scoring 10 goals and 28 points playing at times in the team’s number-one center role. But the Wild could be weary of Steel’s arbitration potential given their dire cap issues, so he’ll now have a chance to hit the open market in a few days. I like Cal Foote lots of upside and would add toughness say 1 yr X 950,000 - One way deal, show me more ? Also seeing Puljujarvi's not getting qualified.

I vaguely remember Canucks fans salivating over this guy like with Madison Bowey. From what I read he is big, and doesn’t do anything well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Foote would be a good signing if he comes in cheap. A big young (24) RHD that still has potential Doesn’t cost a draft pick. isnt 30+ looking for a retirement contract. (Futurebuyout) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
