In recent minutes, the excellent Chris Johnston has reported a rather surprising piece of information concerning the NHL waivers. Indeed, the New Jersey Devils have placed 24-year-old player Cal Foote on waivers today.

«Players placed on NHL waivers today: Robert Hagg (ANA), Colton White (ANA), Jayson Megna (BOS), Brett Murray (BUF), Jujhar Khaira (MIN), Vinni Lettieri (MIN), Dakota Mermis (MIN), Nic Petan (MIN), Cal Foote (NJ), Mark Jankowski (NSH), Leon Gawanke (SJ), and Jeffrey Truchon-Viel (WPG).» - Chris Johnston

Selected 14th overall in the 2017 draft, the 6'5", 224-pound defenseman was seen as having a very promising future in the NHL at the time of his selection, having notably represented the Canadian team in the World Junior Championship.

Unfortunately, Cal Foote has had some difficulty establishing himself in the NHL, playing only 50 games with the Nashville Lightning and the Nashville Predators in the last two seasons.

Since joining the NHL, the former first-round pick has recorded five goals and fourteen assists (19 points) in 141 games. He can therefore be claimed for free by any team in the next 24 hours, otherwise, he will have to join the Utica Comets in the AHL.
