The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed 2017 first-round pick Cal Foote to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Sunday.
Selected 14th overall in last year's draft, the defenseman has spent the past three seasons with the WHL's Kelowna Rockets. This year, his offensive game reached the next level, as he's tallied 70 points through 60 games.
Foote is the son of former Colorado Avalanche blue-liner Adam Foote. Cal's brother, Nolan, is a projected top pick in the 2019 NHL Draft.
